Eyes Speak First

When I saw you, the world turned slow

Didn't need a word - I just knew, though

Heartbeat like a kick drum, feel it race

Every move you made lit up the place

No script, no plan, just flowin' in

Like the start of a movie where dreams begin

Your eyes said "stay," mine said "go"

But somehow we both moved real slow

Words were few, but truth was loud

Love don't need a crowd to feel proud

I knew I'd fall before we spoke

The air between us? Fire and smoke

You reached for me without a sound

Like gravity pulling from the ground

Each glance a spark, a silent flame

Two hearts learning each other's name

We shared the stories, old and worn

You traced the cracks that life had torn

And every secret that we told

Felt less like weight and more like gold

When eyes speak first, the words come late

But nothing's lost - this must be fate

You see me clear, no mask, no blur

I'm understood without a word

Late nights, playlists, candle lights

Talkin' 'bout dreams and future flights

You laugh at things I don't reveal

And still you get me - that's what's real

No rush, no race, no ticking time

We write our rhythm, line by line

Fell for you in a quiet beat

Where silence and soul gently meet

Now we ain't just getting by

We're learning how to love and fly

You reached for me without a sound

Like gravity pulling from the ground

Each glance a spark, a silent flame

Two hearts learning each other's name

I know your pause, I know your pace

I feel your thoughts before your face

This isn't loud, it's pure, it's true

And I'm becoming more with you

When eyes speak first, the words come late

But nothing's lost - this must be fate

You see me clear, no mask, no blur

I'm understood without a word

Some love starts loud, some love starts still

But yours was quiet and always will

And in that peace, I've found the start

Of something whole, of something heart
