Safe With You

I’ve never liked the sound of storms

They used to shake my sleep

Every little crack of thunder

Felt too loud for me

But tonight the rain is falling

And I don’t feel afraid

You’re sitting close beside me

Like the storm has gently changed

I used to carry all my fears

Like shadows on my skin

Never letting anyone

Too close to step within

But somehow you move slowly

Like you understand

Every fragile part of me

You’re holding in your hands

I feel safe with you

In ways I never knew

Not because you promise me the sky

But because you tell the truth

I feel safe with you

Like I can finally breathe

No need to hide the broken parts

You see them and still choose me

We don’t need dramatic nights

Or words that overflow

Just quiet conversations

And nowhere else to go

You listen when I stumble

You wait when I need time

You never try to fix me

You just stand by my side

I’ve learned that love is louder

In the calm than in the fight

It’s not about the shining stars

But staying through the night

And every time you reach for me

Without a single doubt

It feels like all the walls I built

Are slowly coming down

I feel safe with you

In the silence too

When there’s nothing left to say

And still it feels brand new

I feel safe with you

Like home isn’t a place

It’s the steady way you look at me

The softness in your gaze

If someday the world grows heavy

And we forget the light

Remind me of this moment

When everything felt right

Because love doesn’t always rush

Or try to prove it’s strong

Sometimes it’s just two steady hearts

Beating all along

I feel safe with you

And that’s enough for me

If forever feels like this

It’s exactly where I want to be
