051 Closed Ledger
Lyrics
no forecasts no longterm plan
just a shift in pressure
your chair moved closer than it meant to
we didn’t sketch a future
you leaned in
the space between our glasses disappeared
my phone stayed face down
it began without permission
not intention
just something settling into place
staying is different
your jacket stops leaving the back of the chair
my keys stop searching for other doors
no one calls it exchange
still something tilts
hours thinning
attention narrowing
patience stretched and held
not a bargain
not a sacrifice
just repetition with meaning
love isn’t unconditional
we just closed the ledger
let the numbers fall where they want
no tally marks on the wall
no midnight math
we stopped keeping count
and called that enough
love shows up easy
like a light left on
but it won’t stay
if no one pays the bill
maintenance doesn’t shout
it’s dishes rinsed before they harden
it’s the pause before a sharp reply
it’s choosing the softer word
not romance - practice
you’re not my leverage
i’m not your display
we don’t step into rooms to prove anything
let louder love collect witnesses
let hands become a brand
let affection pose for approval
what we built doesn’t need applause
love isn’t unconditional
we just closed the ledger
let the numbers fall where they want
no tally marks on the wall
no midnight math
we stopped keeping count
and called that enough
we left a thousand exits unopened
the world didn’t shrink
it focused
if there’s profit here
it can’t be withdrawn
if there’s gain
it won’t show on paper
it lives in smaller places
your voice lowering at dusk
the quiet weight of shared air
the relief of not auditioning
love isn’t unconditional
we just closed the ledger
no score
no proof
enough
just the calm of staying
just us
