Chapter 5 - Love in Between - by Arvin

[Verse 1] I watched from the corners, where no spotlight shone, Where whispers were louder than the words we'd known. She turned pages slowly, lived in lines and dreams, While he walked the halls with silent routines.

**[Verse 2]** He left little gifts, never asked for a name, Just flowers and chocolate, a quiet, sweet game. She smiled to herself, like she somehow knew, But waited for proof before calling it true.

**[Chorus]** And love, it didn't shout, it didn't rush or run, It bloomed in the shade, out of sight of the sun. No grand declarations, no dramatic scenes— Just two hearts writing love in between.

**[Verse 3]** She said she liked stories where love grew slow, Where eyes did the talking, and silence would glow. He watched from afar 'til he gathered the nerve, Then offered his hope in carefully chosen words.

**[Chorus]** And love, it didn't shout, it didn't rush or run, It bloomed in the shade, out of sight of the sun. No grand declarations, no dramatic scenes— Just two hearts writing love in between.

**[Bridge]** I used to think love was lightning or flame, A fast-spoken line or a wild, reckless name. But now I believe it's the softest of things— A note passed in secret, a promise that sings.

**[Final Chorus]** 'Cause love, it doesn't shout, it just gently stays, It walks with you slowly through long, quiet days. No spotlight required, no silver screen— Just chapters and moments, and love in between.

**[Outro]** So I'll keep on watching, and maybe one day, I'll write my own story in a quiet way. With chocolates and pages and skies turning green... Like love softly blooming between.
