You called me, midnight, tipsy, screaming “my love” Words slurred like a jazz melody, still sharp enough I traced the echo of your laugh, through the static line A moment burned, a fleeting frame, forever mine And every note of you lingers in my chest Your voice, the harmony, that puts my heart to rest The rhythm of your love, like a record spinning slow You’re the song I didn’t know I needed, but I know Your hair smelled like rain, that night on the avenue We danced under streetlights, shadows bending in two The world a blur, your eyes the only focus in sight Time froze in the amber glow of that quiet night And every note of you lingers in my chest Your voice, the harmony, that puts my heart to rest The rhythm of your love, like a record spinning slow You’re the song I didn’t know I needed, but I know In the chaos of the city, you’re my silent refrain The whisper in my ear that softens the pain Your touch is a verse, a poem on my skin Each line unraveling the places I’ve been So call me again, at any hour you please Drunk on your words, or sober on your knees You’re the melody that rewrote my tune My forever crescendo, my sun, my moon
