As long as I’m not there alone.”

We talked about everything under the sky,
Just never talked about you and I.
You’d laugh and say, “Why are you looking at me?”
I’d just smile and let you be.

You started asking more about tomorrow,
And I stopped thinking only for myself.
Somewhere between today and tomorrow,
We started making room for someone else.

One night you asked me about a home,
“Would you want it quiet, or full of light?”
I said, “I think I’d want it to feel like home,
And hear your laughter every night.”

You laughed and called me sentimental,
Then looked away and said nothing more.
A few minutes passed, then softly you asked,
“If I stay… would you still be here?”

We talked about everything under the sky,
Just never talked about you and I.
You’d laugh and say, “Why are you looking at me?”
I’d just smile and let you be.

You started asking more about tomorrow,
And I stopped thinking only for myself.
Somewhere between today and tomorrow,
We started making room for someone else.

Now your “see you tomorrow” sounds different,
And my “take care” somehow does too.
We never promised anything to each other,
But somehow we both already knew.

You fixed your hair and said,
“They’re probably waiting for me.”
There was something I wanted to tell you,
But I kept it to myself.

We talked about everything under the sky,
The weather, the people, the passing days.
But the one thing that mattered between us
Stayed hidden in the simplest ways.

And if someone asks us when it started,
Maybe we’ll just smile and let it be.
Because neither of us ever noticed
When “you and me” became “we.”
