Two cups on the table, fogged and slow
Steam rising like the things we’ll never show
You looked out, I looked in
And neither one of us began
The air was full, but not with truth
We hid in warmth, we missed our youth
Underneath the steam, I stayed
Wrapped in things we never said
Soft enough to feel like care
Gone enough to leave me bare
You didn’t lie, but left a gap
A silence folded in your lap
I watched it build, I let it fill
Now here I sit, and feel it still
Steam rising like the things we’ll never show
You looked out, I looked in
And neither one of us began
The air was full, but not with truth
We hid in warmth, we missed our youth
Underneath the steam, I stayed
Wrapped in things we never said
Soft enough to feel like care
Gone enough to leave me bare
You didn’t lie, but left a gap
A silence folded in your lap
I watched it build, I let it fill
Now here I sit, and feel it still
