The Air Between Us - harusari
Ever since I said I love you
The air has changed between us
Three words fell from my lips
And then the world just stopped around us
You looked into my eyes
But didn't know what you should say
Now every conversation
Feels like walking on thin ice
The silence speaks much louder
Than our voices ever could
Something shifted in that moment
When my heart was on display
Now we're dancing around feelings
That we both can't seem to weigh
The air between us
Has grown heavy since I told you how I feel
Every word we speak is careful
Like we're scared to make it real
That confession hangs there
Waiting for an answer from your heart
The air between us
Holds our future, will it tear us apart?
You still smile when you see me
But it doesn't reach your eyes
Every text takes longer answers
Getting shorter by the day
I wonder if you're thinking about
What I said that night
Or if you wish I never spoke
And kept it locked away
This quiet is consuming me
I need to know what's in your mind
Are you afraid to hurt me
Or just taking time to find
The words to let me down easy
Or the courage to say yes
This silence is the hardest test
That love has ever blessed
The air between us
Needs clearing, I can't breathe in all this doubt
Every moment that you're thinking
Is a moment I'm without
That confession needs an answer
It's been hanging way too long
The air between us
Tells the story of what could go right or wrong
I'll wait here in this silence
Until you find your voice
The air between us holds our love
And our impossible choice
