When you were crying, I sat beside you
Didn't try to fix what you were going through
I waited for your voice, not my own
'Cause love means giving space to grow
When I felt broken, you didn't rush in
You didn't hold me till I let you in
You let me feel what I had to feel
And that's how I knew your love was real
We don't need to change to fit
We learn, we listen, bit by bit
Love is not a game of control
You're not mine, and I'm not yours
But we choose each other more and more
Just as you are, just as I am
That's how we stand
I don't know all the things you love
But I wanna learn without pushing too much
We don't build walls, we open the view
Through your eyes, I find something new
When I need time to be alone
You step back without letting me feel alone
You've got your world, I've got mine too
But we still walk side by side, me and you
We don't need to change to fit
We learn, we listen, bit by bit
Love is not a power play
You're not mine, and I'm not yours
But we choose each other more and more
Just as you are, just as I am
That's how we stand
Even when we're far apart
I can feel you in my heart
Freedom, trust, and something kind
A love that never tries to bind
We don't need to hide or pretend
We hold each other, not defend
Love is where I feel most free
You're not trying to change me
And I'm not trying to cage you in
Just as you are, just as I am
That's real love, my friend
