When I’m near you,
the world forgets to move.
Time holds its breath,
and I forget everything but you.
Your eyes are calm oceans,
your voice a quiet home.
You don’t even know
how safe I feel when you’re near.
You are light wrapped in kindness,
bound by faith and promise,
and I, standing just beyond your reach,
can only watch you shine.
I know I can’t have
what my heart dares to dream.
But still, in every heartbeat,
you live there quietly, beautifully, always.
