We did not force this to happen It found its way on its own One conversation became another Until it felt strange not being here There was comfort without effort There was warmth without asking Being with you did not feel new It felt familiar in a quiet way For a while that was enough Just being here with you But time keeps moving forward Even when we do not When something feels this right I start to feel how fragile it is I do not want to be a moment you pass through I do not want to be something temporary I do not want to fade into your past While your life keeps moving forward I do not want to exist only in the present I do not want to vanish when life moves on I do not want to be remembered instead of chosen I want to be written into what comes next I want to be more than a moment I want to be your I want to be more than a moment I want to be your forever Sometimes I watch you talk about tomorrow And feel how much I want to be there I picture myself inside those plans Even when you do not say my name I wonder where I stand in your future I measure silence more than words I feel close but not yet secure Like this moment could still change I hold the fear beneath my voice So it does not change the way you see me But it sits with me in the dark Asking if I am part of what is coming I do not want to be a moment in your life That gets buried under the new priorities of your future I do not want to be something you reminisce And smile as if it was meant to be a memory I do not want to be a chapter you close But a hook that connects to your next story I do not want to hear a pause to your future plans And have me recognize a gap where I am supposed to be I want to be more than a moment I want to be your forever
