In the city of quiet streets, I found a light I shouldn’t chase,
A student’s gaze, a fleeting thing, bound by time and space.

Your voice, your face, the way you move, all pull me in too deep,
But this feeling’s wrong, I know it well, a secret I must keep

I didn’t plan to feel this way, it caught me by surprise,
I swore I wouldn’t lose myself in something I despise.

But now I’m stuck, caught in between, unsure of where to go,
A feeling that’s both soft and sharp, a truth I shouldn’t know.

It’s funny how the gods allow these paths to intertwine,
Innocence is shaken here, a weakness so divine.

You know your way through faith and creed, I barely know a few,
Yet I can’t help but wonder how my journey led to you.

And yet again, you are a city, not mine, everyone knows you,
I’m just new here, still in awe, wondering if I ever knew you.
