The Way You Hold My Heart
⸻
You touch the room before you even speak,
A little calm inside a crowded street.
I never knew that I could feel this light,
Like every wrong is slowly turning right.
You learned my silence like a second skin,
Heard every truth before I let you in.
You never asked me to be something new,
Just held the pieces that I broke into.
And when I stumbled through my darker parts,
You pulled the sunrise out of where they were.
⸻
I didn’t know that love could feel this safe.
You make the heavy things just drift away.
⸻
It’s the way you hold my heart—
Like it’s something you were born to guard.
It’s the way you know my scars
And still treat them like they’re made of stars.
It’s the way you hold my heart—
Soft enough to pull me back from falling apart.
⸻
I’ve been a runner since the start of time,
Always afraid of what I’d leave behind.
But you’re the quiet in the chaos sound,
The only place I want to settle down.
You read the lines I never dared to write,
Turned all my shadows into gentle light.
You made the walls I built feel paper-thin,
Just with the warmth you carry in your grin.
And now I’m learning how to trust again,
One steady moment at a time with you.

I didn’t know that love could feel this safe.

It’s the way you hold my heart—

It’s the way you know my scars
And still treat them like they’re made of stars.
It’s the way you hold my heart—
Soft enough to pull me back from falling apart.
⸻
If ever I forget the way I’m healed,
Remind me how your steady kindness feels.
You taught me I was never hard to love—
I just needed someone gentle enough.
⸻
It’s the way you hold my heart—
Like it’s something you were born to guard.

And still treat them like they’re made of stars.

Soft enough to pull me back from falling apart.
