You Look Like Poetry

[Verse 1]

You sat beside me,

Like the moon sits near the sea.

Not a word — just gravity,

Pulling softly into me.

[Pre-Chorus]

Every blink, a stanza,

Every breath, a line.

You didn’t say “I love you,”

But your silence rhymed.

[Chorus]

You look like poetry,

Soft and wild and free.

I want to read you slowly,

Line by line, just you and me.

You look like poetry,

In a world that talks too loud.

You whisper in colors

I never knew out loud.

[Verse 2]

You don’t need the clever phrases,

You’re the pause in pretty songs.

You’re the ink between my pages,

Where my heart has lived so long.

[Bridge — soft falsetto or whisper]

You don’t even try —

And still, you rhyme.

[Final Chorus]

You look like poetry,

My favorite kind of wrong.

You don’t need a chorus —

You’ve been the song all along.
