I now know

Verse 1]
I’ve been carrying this feeling for months now,
A warmth that spreads whenever you’re around.
Didn’t know what to call it at first,
Lately every moment’s painting it clearer,
The way my chest lifts when you walk through the door,
The way the world quiets down when you’re near,
Like everything’s finally settled, like it’s all been restored.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when we’re together, nothing feels wrong,
The hours slip by faster than I would like 
[Chorus]
Being away too long cuts deeper than I knew,
A dull ache that follows, pulling me back to you.
I catch myself staring, lost in your face,
Feeling like the luckiest man in this place.
Life handed me something I never asked for,
But now I see it plain—there’s no doubt anymore.
[Verse 2]
My Heart trips over itself like it forgot how to beat.
I get caught looking, you turn and you smile,
And I swear the room lights up just for me.
I used to think love was loud, was fire and fight,
But this is steady, this is calm in the night.
No storms, no questions, just truth in the air—
You’re here, and suddenly everything’s fair.
[Pre-Chorus]
And when we’re apart, the days drag heavy and gray,
Like the color’s been drained till you’re back in my day.
But the second I see you, the world snaps back right,
I know in my bones this is more than just simple feeling.
[Chorus]
Being away too long cuts deeper than I knew,
A dull ache that follows, pulling me back to you.
I catch myself staring, lost in your face,
Feeling like the luckiest man in this place.
Life handed me something I never asked for,
But now I see it clearly —there’s no doubt anymore.
This isn’t just feeling 
[Bridge]
I’m done with the wondering, done with the wait,
No more hiding the words that have been building this weight.
I look at you sleeping, or laughing, or just being you,
And every piece falls into place, every dream comes true.
I’ve got no fear left, no reason to hold back—
This heart’s been yours since the moment it cracked open for you 
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, being with you makes everything okay,
And being without you just steals the light away.
I catch myself staring, grateful down to my soul,
That somehow the universe made you mine.
No question, no doubt, no almost, no maybe someday—
It’s love, girl!!!!  This feeling is love ….
And I need you to hear me say…
I love you.
I’m in love with you.
