❤️ “I Found You in the Silence”

I found you not in the thunder,
But in the stillness of my soul—
When the world forgot to listen,
And the noise no longer stole.

You came like morning whispers,
Soft as sun on sleepy skin,
Not loud, not grand, but certain—
Like the peace I felt within.

You weren’t a storm or wildfire,
No flash across the skies,
But the steady glow of twilight
That rests behind closed eyes.

I didn’t need to chase you,
You were already there—
In every breath I ever took
Before I knew to care.

You didn’t ask for pretty,
You didn’t crave disguise—
You looked at me and saw me,
And undressed all my lies.

You took my broken verses
And stitched them into rhyme,
Turned my lonely, scattered moments
Into songs that conquer time.

You are the pause between my heartbeats,
The reason why I breathe—
The silence in my chaos,
The presence when I grieve.

You hold me like a memory
Too sacred to let go,
Like a flame that never flickers
Even when the cold winds blow.

You kissed the bruises of my past
And dared me to believe,
That love is not a gamble—
It’s a vow we choose to weave.

And even if the stars go dark
And oceans cease to roam,
I’ve found in you a compass,
I’ve found in you a home.
