Almost Said It

We drove through rain in borrowed cars. Shared motel nights beneath the Stars. Fixed each other's dreams with thread and Glue. You took the long way Just to stay near too. We built a life out of small things. Coffee spoons and guitar strings. Laughed when the lights went out Downtown. Hearts beating loud, But no one made a sound. There were nights I almost told you, Mornings I nearly did. But something 'bout the silence felt like Love we never hid. We almost said it, But we lived it instead. In all the little moments, In the words we never said. We carried love like a secret flame, Never loud, never tame. We almost said it, But it burned just the same. From empty rooms to neon signs. We held our ground through every Climb. Your hand in mine when the world was Cold. A quiet bond that never had To be told. There were glances that could've spoken, But we chose not to begin. Maybe silence was the answer Where a whisper might have been. We almost said it, But we lived it instead. In the late-night highways and the Tears we never shed. We walked through fire without a name, No confessions, no one to blame. We almost said it, But it burned just the same. Maybe love don't need a vow to Prove it ever stayed. Maybe not saying it out loud was the Most honest thing we made. We almost said it, But we breathed it like air. In every shared silence, In every quiet stare. It never needed to be proclaimed. It lit us up, it left its flame. We almost said it, But we loved Just the same.
