Original lyrics
ENThere's a timer in my head I never set
Counts the hours till your name lights up the screen: Good morning
Just a simple line, and yet
A daily ritual turned sacred scene
I caught the scent of smoke left on your coat
And didn't turn away
I breathed it in
And every song you send becomes a note
That tells me where the melody begins
It's funny
I've started missing details
I never even used to see
And now I know your eyes smile first
A quiet tell
A silent sign
Before the laughter or a single word
These little things that start to matter are all mine
Nothing's really changed
But everything feels new
This ordinary world is glowing just for you
Love arrived disguised as routine
The quietest arrival I have ever seen
I know the way your eyes smile first
A hopeful tell, a welcome sign
And now I know my universe
Finds all the things that start to matter in your eyes
