What Love Knows
Real love is quieter
than the stories promised –
it arrives like morning light,
soft but certain,
touching everything
without asking permission.
It knows the shape of your breath,
the rhythm of your doubts,
the way your name sounds
when spoken gently.
It doesn’t dazzle;
it steadies.
It doesn’t demand;
it listens.
And in its presence,
the world feels
a little more possible.
