I want the kind where

we laugh at nothing,

hold hands without thinking,

and choose each other

even on the hard days.

The soft love.

The safe love.

The kind that grows.

wonder if you know

how often you cross my mind

when the world finally goes quiet.

You show up in my thoughts

like a soft song playing in the background—

not demanding attention,

just comforting my soul.

If love had a feeling,

it would feel like this.

Love doesn’t always announce itself loudly.

Sometimes it arrives quietly…

In the way your name feels safe in my mouth.

In the way my heart calms when I think of you.

I don’t need grand gestures.

I just need you,

Being real, being gentle, being here.

Some feel like lessons.

But you?

You feel like home.

Like warmth after a long day.

Like rest.

Like somewhere my heart

wants to return to again and again.

won’t tell you

how much I adore you

how my heart softens

every time you smile.

Instead, I’ll love you quietly.

In my prayers.

In my patience.

In the way I stay.
