Lyric

Your sweater smells like autumn

Old movies on your phone

Laughing at the way they kissed

But we still walk each other home

Call it almost

Call it nearly

We were close

But never clearly

You held on like it was always

I let go like it was air

If I see you in that café

I will act like I don’t stare

Love that almost happened

Hanging like polaroids in air

You send me songs from last year

Say

“this one feels like us”

I learn the words

Then skip it

‘Cause it cuts right through the bus

We were right and we were early

Too much truth

The edges pearly

You said

“please don’t say forever”

So I stayed stuck on “in between”

Now your name’s a hidden playlist

Tucked inside my old blue jeans

Love that never had a label

Still colors every half‑lost dream

Met someone at your station

They wear the same old shoes

We talk about the weather

But I think about you

Guess we loved in different timings

All our stars

The wrong aligning

You were summer chasing thunder

I was waiting out the rain

Every street still feels like maybe

Every laugh still sounds like your name

Love that almost found its landing

Circles back and fades again

One day we’ll trade our stories

Over dinners

Years from now

You’ll smile and say

“remember…?”

I’ll say

“yeah

I see it now”

We were pages

Never printed

Every line already hinted

You were looking toward the ending

I was tracing every start

You will toast the life you chose then

I will raise a quiet heart

Love that lived between the moments

Still a shadow in the dark

If I’d stayed

Would it be better

If you’d asked

Would I have run

All these tiny chosen maybes

Glow like embers

Gone like sun

So I’ll keep our almost answers

Folded where the daylight stays

You were right here for a second

I’ll be loving you

In halfway ways
