The One

My darling wife is here tonight and she has no idea I wrote two songs for her last week.

Love you baby.

This one isn’t about one moment. It’s about a thousand small ones I didn’t realize were building something bigger.

Anyway… here’s “The One.”

I didn’t notice it at first

How you became part of everything

Like the way mornings started making sense

When you were in the room

You talk like it’s nothing special

But I remember every word

Not because it’s perfect

But because it feels real

I used to think love was loud

Big gestures, big signs

Turns out it’s quieter

And it still rewires your mind

And I don’t even try to explain it

Because it never comes out right

It’s just you

And somehow that’s enough

You are the calm inside the storm I didn’t know I had

You are the reason even silence doesn’t feel so bad

If time is just a river pulling everything away

Then I would stand here in your current every day

You are the answer I didn’t know I was looking for

You are the reason I don’t need anything more

If love is just a place I never thought I’d belong

Then I’ve been right where I am all along

I notice the small things now

The way you forget your keys

The way you hum in the kitchen

Like it belongs to you

You don’t try to be magic

But it happens anyway

Like the room gets softer

When you stay

I’ve seen a lot of moments

Come and go too fast

But nothing feels like it does

When it’s with you at last

And I stop asking questions

Because I already know

Some things don’t need answers

They just grow

You are the calm inside the storm I didn’t know I had

You are the reason even silence doesn’t feel so bad

If forever is a line I never thought I’d reach

Then you’re the moment I finally believe

You are the answer I didn’t know I was looking for

You are the reason I don’t need anything more

If love is just a place I never thought I’d belong

Then I’ve been right where I am all along

I don’t need perfect words

I don’t need a plan

I just know my life makes sense

When you take my hand

You are the calm inside the storm I didn’t know I had

You are the reason even silence doesn’t feel so bad

If I had to choose again, I wouldn’t think twice

It’s you, it’s you, every life

You are the answer I didn’t know I was looking for

You are the reason I don’t need anything more

If love is just a place I never thought I’d belong

Then I’ve been right where I am all along
