Tender Threads

We used to share our stories

under the old pine tree

Just two comfortable friends,

as easy as could be

But yesterday you laughed,

and I forgot to breathe

Something shifted softly

in the space beneath

Your hand brushed mine today,

a sudden quiet spark

Like a tiny lantern

shining through the dark

I find myself rewriting

the lines of who we are

How did we walk

so

far?

I am falling slowly for you (ooh)

Like a leaf in a morning breeze

Every little thing you do

Brings me to my knees

Yes,

it's true

I'm falling slowly for

you

I see you in a light

I never knew before

No longer just the kid

who lived next door

My heart is beating softly,

keeping time with yours

Opening up

new

doors

Falling slowly...

(falling slowly)

Just a friend no

more (hmmm)
