A Magical Story

It started on an ordinary evening, Streetlights humming low above the rain. You were tracing stories in the window, Laughing like you’d never learned of pain. My coffee had gone cold between our sentences, Time was slipping sideways out of view. Every little word you dropped like stardust Turned the simple night to something new. I used to think that miracles were fiction, Written down for someone else to read. But sitting there across from you in silence, I felt the pages turning under me. Once in a lifetime feeling — lightning in my veins, Glow in the dark like fireworks in rain. Say it again, I don’t want to forget — Magic like this doesn't happen by chance. We walked along the river after closing, City glowing soft behind the trees. You said, “If we get lost, then let’s stay lost here,” Like getting lost was something we could keep. A passing train stitched comets through the distance, Your hand brushed mine and didn’t let it go. And suddenly the world felt slightly tilted, Like someone tweaked the ending of the show. I used to rush right past these little moments, Always waiting for a louder sign. But every quiet second there beside you Felt like a secret underline. Once in a lifetime feeling — lightning in my veins, Glow in the dark like fireworks in rain. Say it again, I don’t want to forget — Magic like this doesn't happen by chance.
