Candlelight Letters

[verse 1]
You liked sugar in your coffee, just a pinch, never stirred
I wrote that down the morning after — second page, second word
You were humming in my hallway, I was barefoot on the floor
Didn’t know how much I’d miss you till your echo closed the door

Told myself you weren’t for keeping, just a flame I had to feel
But every candle flickered softer when you left and took the real
I never sent these words to find you, I just wrote them to survive
Now they whisper from the paper like they’re somehow still alive

[chorus]
Candlelight letters, never lit
Just ink and hope I couldn’t quit
Folded my heart in the margin tight
Maybe love just reads better by candlelight
Candlelight letters, left unsent
Pages full of what I meant
And if you ever hold them to the flame
You’ll hear my voice — callin’ your name

[verse 2]
You used to fix my crooked necklace, said the clasp belonged in back
And I’d pretend that little moments never threw me off my track
But I was memorizing seconds, like they’d vanish in the breeze
So I scribbled them on napkins, between silence and reprieve

You deserved a song, not silence — but I was better with a pen
So I turned our days to verses that the wind could read again
I wasn’t brave enough to mail them, wasn’t broken all the way
But tonight I lit a match — and let the chorus find its say

[chorus]
Candlelight letters, never lit
Just ink and hope I couldn’t quit
Folded my heart in the margin tight
Maybe love just reads better by candlelight
Candlelight letters, left unsent
Pages full of what I meant
And if you ever hold them to the flame
You’ll hear my voice — callin’ your name

[verse 3]
Years have softened all the edges, but your laugh cuts just the same
Found a photo in my drawer, and your eyes still frame the frame
I forgave us both in pencil — ‘cause I knew I’d change the lines
But this letter stayed untouched… like some truths don’t age with time

If you read this in the quiet, with the lamp turned low and gold
Let each sentence wrap around you like the arms you used to hold
I don’t need a “me too” message, or a call across the years
Just a minute of your heartbeat, where the past still reappears

[chorus]
Candlelight letters, never lit
Just ink and hope I couldn’t quit
Folded my heart in the margin tight
Maybe love just reads better by candlelight
Candlelight letters, left unsent
Pages full of what I meant
And if you ever hold them to the flame
You’ll hear my voice — callin’ your name
