Warm Enough

You held my hand like checking rain
Not too tight, just light on pain
I smiled like it was mine to keep
But we both knew it wasn’t deep
A little heat, a little stay
You left before I asked you to stay
Was it warm enough to say it meant?
Or just a flicker, accident?
If comfort counts, then maybe so
But no one's home in afterglow
We never burned, just flickered soft
Low flame love, we brushed it off
I memorized the way you moved
In almost-love, there’s nothing proved
