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
