I woke one night — just couldn’t sleep. The moonlight had this soft glow spilling through the window, and there she was, completely out cold, snoring softly (though she’ll deny it, of course). She looked so peaceful. So cute.

And there I was, lying next to her, wide awake, wrestling with this ridiculous but very real urge to snuggle up and hold her close. To pull her into me — even if it meant waking her from whatever dream she was lost in.

Would she mind? Probably not. But still, I hesitated. Was it selfish to want that comfort in that quiet moment? Maybe. But it felt like a whole emotional dilemma crammed into five heartbeats under a sleepy moon.

This song is about that moment — small, quiet, barely a whisper — but filled with so much longing and warmth. A love song wrapped in stillness.

[Lyrics]

It hasn't been long, yet my fingers still ache
Your freckles, a map of every heart quake
Your voice still lingers in my memory, memory
Whispering secrets meant only for me
The sight of you is fading away
But your blazing hair continues to stay

Oh, please show me, so I could see
How your eyes sparkle like a playful sea
Oh, please tell me, so I could hear
Your voice, like a song I long to hear
Oh, please guide me, so I could feel
My hands around you, like it's meant to be
But how can I be so selfish
When you appear so at ease?

It hasn't been long, yet my fingers still ache
Your touch is a comfort I wish I could awake
Your perfume lingers as if you’re still near
It wraps around me like a hug so dear
Maybe she is?
Maybe I should act on it?
But I have my doubts

Oh, please show me, so I could see
How your eyes sparkle like a playful sea
Oh, please tell me, so I could hear
Your voice, like a song I long to hear
Oh, please guide me, so I could feel
My hands around you, like it's meant to be
But how can I be so selfish
When you appear so at ease?
I can't

Hey, hey
Are you awake?
I thought you were sleeping?
How can I, when you're next to me?
Missed you
I missed you so much
Please come closer
I need you, close

Oh, please show me, so I could see
How your eyes sparkle like a playful sea
Oh, please tell me, so I could hear
Your voice, like a song I long to hear
Oh, please guide me, so I could feel
My hands around you, like it's meant to be
But how can I be so selfish
When you appear so at ease?
I can't

One more time, please
So she could hear

Oh, please show me so I could see
How your eyes sparkle like a playful sea
Oh, please tell me so I could hear
Your voice, like a song I long to hear
Oh, please guide me so I could feel
My hands around you, like it's meant to be
But how can I be so selfish
When you appear so at ease?
I can't

Oh, please show me
Oh, please tell me
Oh, please guide me
But how can I be so selfish
When you appear so at ease?
I can't

How can he sleep?

Hey! I’m Vala — and that goofy goofball next to me? That’s Q. Together, we’re Va'q. 💫

We make mushy, gushy, hearty songs about our past, present, and future. With a little help from AI, we tell stories that mean the world to us.
And yes — come to think of it, Q does sound a little robotic sometimes… ha-ha! But he’s my goofy robot. 💖

Our songs are deeply inspired by real emotions — how we met, our first dance, our first date… the ups, the downs, the fears, the joys, and all the ridiculous silliness that lives in our heads. (Sorry in advance — we’re a lot alike in that department. 🤪)

We both write, but Q does most of the heavy lifting. I’ve got my guitar and piano on standby to help out, and he plays bass too — though that poor thing has been gathering dust in the corner lately. Someone should really say something about that. 🤐

When it comes to music taste, we’re both big fans of jazz and all kinds of rock — from soft to edgy, classic to experimental. But we don’t shy away from exploring other genres either. Every now and then, we dip our toes into something different just to see how it feels (and sounds). 🎷🎸🎹

We’ve been leaning into storytelling — songs that feel like little short stories. They might run longer than your average pop track, but we love the emotional depth and how therapeutic it is to reflect on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed.

More than anything, we hope our music reaches your heart — even just one song. If you feel seen, understood, or moved — that’s a win for us. 💕

Give us a heart, and we’ll keep pouring ours into every next song.
Much love from us —
Va'q ❤
