(Acoustic fingerpicking, intimate tone, tender lyrics)
[Verse 1]
He used to watch from the edge of the crowd
With a guitar in hand and his head in the clouds
Singing the stories of hearts not his own
Turning glances and blushes into verses alone
But then came a day he didn't expect
When a smile met his song with a quiet connect
Not fireworks blazing, no whirlwind or spin
Just silence that whispered, "This is where you begin"
[Chorus]
Now it's mine, this feeling inside
A melody blooming he can't try to hide
Not a cover, not borrowed, not sung out of view
This time the song is honest and true
Now it's real, and softly it shows
In the way that her gaze makes the whole world slow
He's no longer a witness to love passing by
Now it's his turn to feel
To sing
To try
[Verse 2]
She didn't arrive like a storm or a spark
But she sat at his side in the shade and the dark
She brought no confessions, no promises made
Just moments that lingered and never quite frayed
And slowly he found he was writing for her
In the space between verses, in chords that would stir
She asked for a song not from sorrow or ache
But one that begins when two people awake
[Chorus]
Now it's mine, the tremble and glow
The heartbeat that hums in a tempo so slow
No more telling of others whose hands intertwine
This time the chorus begins with a line
That's his own, no script to rehearse
Just a boy and a girl and the weight of a verse
He's no longer a mirror to someone else's rhyme
Now the voice in the song
Is finally mine
[Bridge]
Under trees where he once played alone
She listens like he's building a home
Not with walls
But with notes
And a name left unspoken
But known
[Final Chorus]
Now it's mine, this chapter, this flame
He's still learning the verses, but she knows his name
He's writing in pencil, unsure what will stay
But she turns every line into something that plays
Like a prayer
Like a spark
Like a tune meant to last
A soft little anthem for futures unasked
And as long as she stays when the song starts to climb—
He'll keep singing aloud
That love
Now is mine
