SIRCLES

There's a quiet in the way
You stay
Like you never fully here

We talk in circles late at night
Like we're scared to say it straight
Every word just misses something
Every touch arrives too late

I keep moments in my pocket
That were never really mine
They still feel like they belong to you
Even now, even with time

If I'm honest with myself
I'll be standing in between
Not holding on
Not letting go

I don't know what this is
But it stays with me
Every time I try to move
It pulls me back again

I don't know what this means
But it won't release
Like a feeling with no name
Living underneath my skin

You don't say what you don't need to
I don't ask for anything
We let silence do the talking
Like it's safer in between

There's a comfort in the distance
There's a calm I can't explain
But every time I feel it settle
Something whispers it won't stay

Some things feel too real to ever feel secure

I don't know what this is
But it stays with me
Every time try to move
It pulls me back again

I don't know what this means
But it won't release
Like a feeling with no name
Living underneath my skin

If I leave it here
Will it follow me?
