Lucid Gaze

Quiet signals, unspoken air Two mirrored pulses, nowhere near I trace your name in half-lit thoughts, devotion never told Familiar strangers say we’re echoes, cast in different molds I lean toward you, test the space But every reach dissolves, unanswered, out of place They say we’re counterparts, divided by design Reflections misaligned in parallel time I speak in hints, you leave no trace Hope thins out slowly, losing shape I want you closer than the truth allows I know your soul without knowing how Though fate refuses to intertwine I hold your outline in my mind From the first exchange, I sensed your inner tone I read your pauses like a language I’ve always known Your solitude is written between each move I see the weight you never prove Our tastes align, our thoughts collide Same quiet corners where we hide I recognize your silent fight Even when you don’t reply I want you closer than the truth allows I know your soul without knowing how Though fate refuses to intertwine I hold your outline in my mind Reality draws its rigid line A distance neither of us can redefine Still, I translate every breath you take An intimacy we never make I want you closer than the truth allows I know your soul without knowing how Though fate refuses to intertwine I hold your outline in my mind Unmet, unheard, yet deeply known Two versions of the same unknown
