Love

"They told me love was simple. They lied.

Love is the most complex thing a human being can choose.

And every morning... I choose it."

Love —

So many things I've been meaning to say

But every time I open my mouth

The words just get in the way

'Cause what I feel for you

Ain't something language was made for

It lives between silence and surrender

In the place I was afraid for

Love —

Ever since the first time I said your name out loud

Something permanent shifted in my chest

Like a storm breaking through a cloud

You didn't just enter my world

You rearranged the whole architecture

Now nothing stands where it used to

And I'm still learning to live in this new structure

I thought I had it all mapped out

But you became the one thing

I couldn't navigate without

I'm not scared anymore of how deep this river goes

I'll surrender willingly, baby

'Cause this is the only water my spirit knows

Love —

So many souls have called your name in vain

Love —

So many hearts have walked through you in pain

Love —

Through all the seasons of the joy and the hurt

Love —

For better or for worse — I still choose you first

I didn't know what you meant to me

Now I can't breathe outside your gravity

The whole world looks different 'cause I found love

Every day I live for you

Every word, every promise, every truth

Everything I'm becoming is 'cause of you

Gotta know I'm true — love

Love —

So many nights I lay awake and wondered

If something this real could ever find me

Or if I'd stay under

Under the weight of old wounds

Under the silence of seasons I waited

Arms open in the dark

Hoping — but never quite making it

You came quietly, like the first light

Not loud, not with warnings

Just present —

Like healing on an ordinary morning

I've seen you used as a weapon

Watched people wear you like a costume

But I know what you actually feel like now

You're not the fireworks or the fanfare

You're the 3am light

You're not the movies or the poems

You're the steady, quiet burning

That stays when everything's been said

And you're still worth returning

Worth returning to

Ohh love...

You didn't have to find me — but you did

You didn't have to stay — but you did

When I didn't even know I needed to be healed

You healed me

Ohhh...

Love —

Through every season you have held your name in grace

Love —

You gave the broken ones a reason and a place

Love —

Through the mountains and the valleys and the dirt

Love —

For better and for worse — I will always choose you first

I didn't know what I was missing 'til you came

Now I don't know how I breathed before you changed

Everything about the way I move — 'cause I found love

Every morning I wake up renewed

Every wound that ever cut me, you came through

I am not who I was — all because of you

Gotta know it's true —

Love.

Love...

Just love...

That's all.

That's everything.
