EVEN WHEN IT HIDES

Morning breaks across the scattered plans,

Coffee’s cold and the day expands.

We pass like ghosts between our calls,

But your laughter still hangs in the walls.

The traffic hums, a steady drum,

We speak in shorthand, come undone.

In all the noise I still can hear

The small soft truth that pulls me near.

Love’s in the middle of everything,

Even when it hides away.

It hums between the words we drop,

The ones I didn’t mean to say that way.

It lingers through the hurried hours,

It lives in quiet grace—

Love’s in the middle of everything,

Even when it hides its face.

The dishes dry in the kitchen glow,

You hum a tune I used to know.

It floats across the hallway light,

And somehow makes the rush feel right.

The days go fast, the months slow down,

We spin inside this sleepless town.

But under every tired phrase,

I feel the pulse that never fades.

Love’s in the middle of everything,

Even when it hides away.

It hums between the words we drop,

The ones I didn’t mean to say that way.

It holds the air when I forget,

It waits beyond the fray—

Love’s in the middle of everything,

Still finding us each day.

Some nights I swear the sky leans in,

To listen to our quiet spin.

And if we fall beneath the sound,

The heart we built will pull us out.

Even silence carries you,

In echoes of the things we do.

It’s there beneath the unspoken lines,

Love hums between the rhymes.

Chorus 3 / Final

Love’s in the middle of everything,

Even when it hides away.

It hums through the rush and ringing phones,

In the words I didn’t mean to say that way.

It glows behind the tired eyes,

And softens all the gray—

Love’s in the middle of everything,

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The room exhales, the night leans near,

Your song still playing clear.

Even when the world runs fast,

Our love stays, quietly vast.
