I used to think the world was small Just this room Just these streets Just the same train every morning Same coffee cups Same ceiling cracks Same people talking over me Then one night The windows fogged up silver And the city looked different somehow Like maybe Maybe there was more More than being careful More than waiting quietly More than standing still Hoping somebody would choose me You took my hand Not like a rescue More like a door opening And suddenly the buildings looked taller The sky stretched farther Even the cold air felt alive I didn’t know I didn’t know life could widen like that Streetlights spinning gold on the water Late trains humming under the bridge For one second The whole world felt unfinished Like I could still become someone new
