Tethered Without Touch

[Verse 1] Your shadow lives beneath my skin, A whisper, soft where love begins. No fire burns, no wild embrace, Yet still, your name reshapes my space. [Chorus] Ever loved someone without loving them? A thread unseen, a silent hymn. You’re the echo, not the flame— Still, I’m tethered just the same. [Verse 2] Your laughter’s light, your gaze astray, A fleeting moon that guides my way. Not desire, not devotion’s tide, But a pull I can’t define inside. [Bridge] Between the words I never said, You planted roots inside my head. No roses, no reckless dive— Just a calm that keeps me alive. [Chorus] Ever loved someone without loving them? A thread unseen, a silent hymn. You’re the echo, not the flame— Still, I’m tethered just the same. [Outro] No claim, no touch, no vow to defend, Yet I’m yours without end.
