the quiet of you

I once thought love was a storm,
A wild, fierce wind that tore through sky,
But now I know it’s the quiet,
The stillness where our hearts lie.

It's in the way you touch my hand,
Soft as dawn, a tender grace,
It’s in the way the world feels calm,
When I turn to see your face.

In the whispers of our laughter,
The warmth of moments shared,
In the spaces between words,
I feel the love we’ve always bared.

And if the days are heavy, love,
And shadows stretch across our way,
I’ll hold you in the quiet—
Where you’ve always been, and stay.

So when the world grows loud and cold,
I’ll find my peace in you,
In the soft, eternal silence—
That speaks the deepest truth.
