Let Me Be Still

Not every love begins with fire

Some start with breath and soft desire

You didn't pull, you didn't lead

You simply gave me what I need

No flashing light, no shouting sound

Just quiet where my soul was found

I thought I had to chase the thrill

But you just showed me how to still

The world around could rush and scream

But you became my softer dream

I didn't know how much I yearned

For gentle love that asks, not turns

You took my hand and let me pace

You didn't run, you gave me space

And in that space I found my name

The parts I lost, you let reclaim

Now every second feels brand new

Because I get to breathe with you

You gave me room to find my way

And stayed, no matter if I stray

You are the peace I never knew

The part of me that feels most true

You didn't pull, you didn't lead

You simply gave me what I need

No flashing light, no shouting sound

Just quiet where my soul was found

You never needed me to shine

You only asked that I be mine

And now I see the love we build

Is deeper, stronger, slow and stilled

You taught me love's not in the race

But in the pauses that we face

No ticking clocks, no lines to meet

Just heart to heart and steady beat

You wrap me warm without a word

The safest truth I've ever heard

So let the world keep turning fast

With you, I've found a love that lasts

And in the hush, I hear you near

No louder sound than being here

You are the still I always missed

A quiet space where I exist

Let me be still, right here with you
