More Than I Knew

Whispered shadows and silent nights,

You appear where darkness fights.

Unseen, I was content to drift,

Until your presence gave me lift.

I never really craved affection, till I felt your touch,

Like a quiet storm that changed my world, I needed so much.

Independent, I’d kept my distance, undefeated, alone,

But with your gentle glance, I found a home, I found my own.

Your words sweep through my restless mind,

In your eyes I leave my fears behind.

Every glance, a gentle clue,

To how much more I want to know of you.

I never knew I’d fall this deep,

You’re the secret that I want to keep.

Held my heart in open hands,

Now I want to understand, oh I want to understand.

I never realized how reassuring could be to feel so seen,

Your focus, a soothing stream, washes over me, so serene.

In a world that’s loud and unforgiving,

Your presence is the calm I’m living.

Your words sweep through my restless mind,

In your eyes I leave my fears behind.

Every glance, a gentle clue,

To how much more I want to know of you.

I never knew I’d fall this deep,

You’re the secret that I want to keep.

Held my heart in open hands,

Now I want to understand, oh I want to understand.

And I wonder, if I step closer,

Will I find a new beginning?

Your gaze, a gentle lighthouse,

Guides me through my fears and riddles.

So here I stand, arms open wide,

Hoping you’re the one inside,

Longing for more, seeking the core,

Of all I felt and how you make me soar.
