Unraveled Gaze

[Verse 1]
The city breathes its velvet hum, a quiet, fading song.
Your eyes, a careful tapestry, where secrets lingered long.
I watched the shadow shift and play, a map I couldn't trace,
A hushed anticipation in this forgotten, whispered space.
Each quiet breath, a delicate sigh, a story yet untold,
Until a silent current started, brave and strangely bold.

[Chorus]
Then your gaze, it unraveled slow, a delicate, frayed edge,
And I saw you, truly seen, upon that quiet ledge.

[Verse 2]
Beneath the streetlights' silver lace, a tender ache emerged.
My hands remembered every fault, the truths you once submerged.
A patchwork heart, now open wide, no longer held apart,
The jasmine scent, a distant hymn, resonated in the dark.
Like worn-out velvet, soft with time, your guard began to fall,
As understanding filled the air, answering my quiet call.

[Bridge]
This fragile thread, it pulled me in, a truth I couldn't deny,
An ancient sorrow, shimmering, in the depths of your soft eye.
The quiet hum of Oakland ghosts, a comfort bittersweet,
As shared vulnerability made our broken edges meet.

[Outro]
Just silent weave, in this obsidian night, we quietly spun.
Two lonely souls, finally seen, beneath a faded sun.
