More than love

I don’t always show what’s deep inside,

Been walking through life with feelings I hide.

But you, you saw beyond the quiet walls,

Heard the silence in my every call.

It hurt a little when truth touched skin,

But love begins where truth steps in.

And somehow you knew what I couldn’t say,

Held me close and stayed anyway.

What I feel for you, it’s more than love,

It’s peace, it’s calm, it’s rising above.

It’s finding home in someone’s eyes,

A safe place where my spirit lies.

So thank you, love, for holding on—

For staying when my words were gone.

I never thought I deserved this light,

A hand that holds me through the night.

But here you are, with open arms,

Seeing beauty in my hidden scars.

You’re patient when my voice is low,

You understand the things I don’t show.

And though it’s hard, I’m learning still

To open up, to trust, to feel.

You said I don’t show my emotions well…

And you were right.

I’ve held things in for so long,

I forgot how to let them out.

But thank you

For seeing me,

For saying what I needed to hear.

It hurt… but only because I knew it was true.

I’m trying, love.

And what I feel for you

It’s more than love.

It’s peace.

It’s home.

What I feel for you, it’s more than love,

A quiet light I’m not worthy of.

But still you stay, and still you see

The tangled, quiet parts of me.

So I’ll keep trying, every day—

To love you back in every way.

You’re the truth I never knew I’d find,

The calm that eases my restless mind.

You didn’t run—you reached right through…

And brought me back to me… and you
