LATE BLOOM

Didn’t see you coming, love snuck in the back

I was guarded, jaded, tied to my past

But you spoke in quiet — no rush, no flame

Just a warmth I couldn’t name

Every petal took its time

But I bloomed right in your light

Didn’t need to chase the spring

You made winter feel like life

I’m a late bloom, baby, but I’m bloomin’ for you

Took a little longer, but the roots grew true

Now I rise slow, but I rise sure

Didn’t know love could feel this pure

I’m a late bloom… but I’m bloomin’ for you

Others picked me fast, didn’t see my thorns

You watered the parts they all ignored

Now I’m stretchin’ wide, unafraid to show

The color I tried to outgrow

No rushin’ rain, no need for sun

You loved me slow, now here I come

Full in bloom, and full in truth

All because of you

I’m a late bloom, baby, but I’m bloomin’ for you

Time made me steady, not brand new

Now I open up, not just for show

You gave me space, and now I glow

I’m a late bloom… and I’m bloomin’ for you

They said I’d missed my season

That love passed me by

But you held on like a reason

Now I’m reachin’ toward the sky

I’m a late bloom, baby, but I’m bloomin’ for you

Took the long road, but I always knew

If I bloomed for anyone, it’d be you

I’m a late bloom…

But baby, I bloomed in truth
