Kanet Henak|كـانت هنـاك

I parked myself beneath the green
Like timing’s something I can screen
Minty breath, a near-miss glance
I weigh the odds before the dance

Tall enough to clear the door
Wrong side of the bedroom war
Gold card, keys, a perfect view
Hairline telling half the truth

I don’t call it fear, I call it taste
I don’t rush what should be fate
Every almost gets erased
I stay

I’m still under the mistletoe
Letting right things pass me slow
If it’s not exact, I let it go
I’m precise like that, you know

I’m still under the mistletoe
Counting flaws like falling snow
Tell me, is it asking too much
When nobody’s ever enough

Gym-built silence, gorgeous frame
Nothing moves behind the flame
Then a face that feels too known
Same sharp smile I see at home

Someone asks us how we met
I dodge it with a cigarette
Another box gets nearly ticked
One loose thread, I pull the stitch

I say patience, I say poise
I say chemistry is choice
Still I don’t step from the glow
I just don’t

I’m still under the mistletoe
Letting right things pass me slow
If it’s not exact, I let it go
I’m precise like that, you know

I’m still under the mistletoe
Counting flaws like falling snow
Tell me, is it asking too much
When nobody’s ever enough

The room moves on without me
I stay framed in greenery
Two I passed lean in, collide
Laughing like it’s not that deep

Hits me quiet, hits me late
Love don’t queue, it don’t wait
I loosen something in my chest
I’m not sure what I meant

I was under the mistletoe
Thinking love should show up whole
Maybe I was holding too close
To a version I outgrew

I step out from the mistletoe
Watch the moment start to move
Maybe love don’t come correct
Maybe it just comes through
