Sometimes we need to slow our pace
To breathe, to find a quieter space.
To feel the sun in gentle grace
And watch the leaves drift from their place.

Sometimes we're lost, unsure, undone
But all we need is lift our eyes to sun.
She shines so high, her warmth so near
Like moonlight soft when night draws near.

In every shadow, light will hide
In every storm, the tides subside.
So take a breath, let peace abide
Everything will turn, be still inside.

Time won’t wait, nor will the sky,
So chase your dreams, let fear pass by.
Speak your truth, don’t miss your chance
This moment’s yours, so live, so dance.

Yes, I’ve grown feelings deep and true,
But I know they don’t live in you.
So I keep quiet, day by day
Not for fear, but in this way

Not silence born from lack of might,
But out of love, and what feels right.
I will not speak unless you ask,
To guard your peace that is my task.

I will not press, nor force, nor chase,
Nor let these words disturb your space.
If truth would make you slip away,
Then in my heart, those words will stay.

I love you more than just to claim,
I value you beyond a name.

Warm drops fall on the old café,
Where laughter lived that slipped away.
The summer rain, it hums our tune,
Soft echoes of a distant June.

Your shadow dances in the glass,
A fleeting glimpse of seasons past.
And though the world feels fresh and new,
The rain still brings me back to you.

For ages I’ve circled ‘round your sun,
A silent moon, outshone, undone.
You were the fire I couldn’t claim,
A distant star that burned my name.

I’ve grown, I’ve drifted, chased the skies,
But still I spin in your sunrise.
No tether holds, no words were said
Just gravity I can’t out shed.

I loved you like the morning star,
Before the skies knew who we are.
But now I wrap my heart in mist,
A flame I dare not let exist.

In fields where storms have yet to pass,
I hide my love in blades of grass.
Not out of fear, but to defend
A fragile bloom the winds might end.

In order to love, you should know how first
Not just the sweet, but also the worst.
Not just the giving, but how to receive,
Not just to hold, but also to leave.

Know how to listen when silence is loud,
To stand with a heart that’s not always proud.
To weather the storms and still choose to stay,
To speak through the night and greet each new day.

You must know yourself your shadows, your light,
What makes you tremble, what gives you fight.
For love is no refuge from wounds you ignore,
It knocks, not to fix you, but open a door.

So learn how to carry the weight of your name,
Before asking someone to dance in your flame.
For love is not learned in the blink of an eye
It begins in the mirror, with the courage to try.
