Loving You Quietly

I loved you without a sound

Kept my feet on safer ground

Afraid to make it real

Afraid of what you’d feel

I chose comfort over truth

Played it cool, played it smooth

Now you’re gone, I’m left to see

Silence cost more than honesty

I hid my heart to stay secure

Now I’m hurting even more

I loved you quietly

And that’s what broke me most

I kept it safe, I kept it small

And lost you almost whole

Some loves die without a fight

Just fear dressed up as polite
