Balcony Hours
The night leans closer,
and I let it.
There’s a cold breeze brushing past my hair,
a few city lights blinking like half-kept promises,
and somewhere between the hum of traffic and my thoughts,
I start remembering the things I never said.
Maybe we all do that—
stand under a quiet sky,
pretending to look at the stars
while really searching for ourselves.
The tea’s gone cold,
but somehow the moment still feels warm.
