i saw through your lies,
but i still miss you.
is that a sin?
a flaw in my spine?
then let me serve my sentence in memory.

she holds you,
but not like i did—
not like flame holds air.
her kiss is water.
mine was wine.

my love is wide—
victoria lake could drown in it.
it rose higher than the empire state
and dove headfirst
into the deep
where names echo and never return.

so tell me,
if i still desire you,
if i long for you to long for me—
is it a crime?
The raw emotion of Sade’s 'Is It a Crime?

maybe not now, not quite today,
but somewhere down the winding way,
when time feels right and skies align,
your path will gently cross with mine.

i won’t rush fate, i’ll let it flow,
there’s still so much we’ll come to know.
no need for maps, no need to see—
we’ll meet again. we’re meant to be.

one day,
you'll pass by a streetlight humming too low
and hear peace in the silence.

one day,
a forgotten song will play,
and something soft will settle in your chest—
not sadness, not quite memory,
just a warmth without a name.

you’ll taste the air before rain
and not feel alone.

not because i stayed—
but because love does,
quietly,
without needing to be seen.

and though you don’t need me now,
but i’ll remain—folded in the lining of your heart.
and when things fall apart,
i’ll be waiting, open-armed and unspoken.

i will be there when it happens—
not in body, not in voice,
but in the hush between moments,
in the calm after ache.
one day in your life

when the world weighs too much,
and silence roars louder than thought,
i’ll be your ground,
run to me.

when your heart breaks in pieces,
i’ll gather them close,
come, run to me.

when the night feels endless,
i’ll be your spark,
run to me.

in the chaos, i’ll be your calm,
come, run to me.
i have nothing to lose by loving you endlessly.

you spoke of dreams,
moments not here,
but lingering just beyond reach.
i see you too—in flashes,
a laugh, a name i never fully said.

i close my eyes,
and there you are,
in the tremble of stars,
the flicker of streetlights,
the hum of midnight waves.

you linger like a soft melody,
always near,
but never enough.
a secret i kept in silence,
carried with every breath.

a heart on hold, a breath held tight,
waiting for the fading light.
he gives his all, then turns away,
leaving dawn where yesterday
burned so bright.  

when he is done,
my fragile hope will come undone.

When you're in love, you lose control,
Doing foolish things, heart and soul.
A stranger’s glance, yet still you’d dare,
To chase a smile, to show you care.

When you're in love, your thoughts run wild,
Like dreams that danced when you were a child.
You wonder if she feels the same,
Or if it’s just a fleeting flame.

You think of scents you've never known,
Soft whispers carved in dreams alone.
You overthink, your heart feels sore,
But then—she texts, and the pain's no more.

When you're in love, the world turns bright,
Even the darkest days feel light.
You laugh at things that make no sense,
Lost in a love so intense.

When you're in love, you just don’t know—
Yebba's Heartbreak inspired
