Sunday on Silent

Sunday on Silent

Sunday light through thin curtains
Phone face-down under the bed
Your hair across my shoulder
Whole week finally out of my head
No brunch booking, no big plan
Coffee can wait another hour
Peace feels strange when you earn it
So I hold still and let it flower

Sunday on Silent, phone under the pillow
Sunday on Silent, coffee moving slow
Love isn't uninterrupted, it's coming back whole
Sunday on Silent, come back when the call lets go

Work phone starts its little earthquake
You close your eyes; I recognize that look
I answer from the kitchen doorway
Promise five minutes, take the hook
Twenty-five later I come back
You have made coffee, saved my place
Love isn't a life with zero interruptions
It is returning with your whole face

That phone under the pillow started shaking
You watched me leave the bed and didn't close
Love isn't uninterrupted, it's coming back whole
You saved my place, and that was how I knew

Sunday on Silent, phone face-down again
Sunday on Silent, crawl back in
Love isn't uninterrupted, it's coming back whole
Sunday on Silent, stay till the sunlight rolls

Sunday on Silent
