ballroom dancing on eggshells

We are ballroom dancing on eggshells
listening to fragile truths break
still gliding around confessions
we are too afraid to make

Each step echoes with meaning
each glance a hidden refrain
you feel it too, I see it
though neither of us can explain

We sway within the silence
drawn close by all we resist
a tremble lives in the quiet
like a promise we almost missed

One day we might stop moving
and let the silence speak instead
find the courage to name the feeling
and the light to lift what’s unsaid
