made to be gentle

You don't fill up every room

You leave space like flowers do

You speak like morning, slow and kind

Never rushing through your mind

You don't chase the brightest flame

You just whisper when you say my name

You were made to be gentle

Like a breeze through an open window

You don't shout your love in storms

But I feel it in the quiet forms

You trace love in small designs

Notes on napkins, silent signs

You were made to be gentle

And I was made to feel it

You pause before you speak the truth

Never throw words just to prove

You hold me like I'm something rare

With both hands, like a prayer

You never tried to change the pace

But somehow you still made space

You were made to be gentle

Like a breeze through an open window

You don't shout your love in storms

But I feel it in the quiet forms

You trace love in small designs

Notes on napkins, silent signs

You were made to be gentle

And I was made to feel it

Some hearts weren't built to roar

But yours still shakes me to the core

You were made to be gentle

And I've never needed more
