You stir your tea and hum a note
A quiet tune I used to quote
And every sound you didn’t mean
Still lingers sweet inside of me
The way the silence wraps your voice
It never felt like just a choice
When sugar hums, the world slows down
I hear your soul in every sound
A tiny pause, a breath, a beat
You made the quiet feel complete
When sugar hums, I taste your name
And nothing's ever quite the same
