I don’t ask whose hands you’ve known,
whose quiet rooms you’ve wandered through.
Let them claim what they were shown
none of them have seen the YOU.
Maybe someone kissed your skin,
soft as prayer beneath the light.
Maybe someone let you win
gentle, careful little nights.
But I see the spark you hide,
how your shadow starts to breathe.
How the fire you keep inside
bares its teeth when you’re with me.
I don’t care who had you first,
who once tangled in your hair.
Let them brag or let them boast
I was never standing there...
before.
I just know the way you stand,
how your smile turns sharp and free,
how the world slips from your hand.
Because you look better next to me.
Your dress clings tighter to your hips,
your laughter burns untamed and wild.
There’s danger sleeping in your lips
that wakes whenever you have smiled.
And maybe they adored you sweet,
kept you safe and kept you tame
but thunder doesn’t bow so neat,
and lightning never plays that game.
So let them whisper what they knew.
Let them swear you once were theirs.
But your eyes grow darker blue
when you feel my hands in theirs.
Call it hunger, call it sin.
Call it reckless chemistry.
I don’t care where you have been
you'd still look better here with me.
