Love with you is not loud.
It does not arrive in fireworks
or declarations meant for an audience.
It lives in the quiet,
in the spaces we don’t fill,
in the way our silence understands itself.
You are my husband,
but more than that,
you are the place I did not know I was searching for.
I have always been someone
who needed control,
who held the world tightly
just to feel steady inside it.
And yet with you,
something softens.
I lose my place in you sometimes,
not in a way that frightens me,
but in a way that feels like finally resting.
It is strange,
to find yourself in another person,
to see your edges blur
and not rush to rebuild them.
Your presence does not take from me.
It gathers me,
reflects me,
shows me parts of myself
I never knew how to hold alone.
There is a quiet surrender in loving you,
not loss,
but a gentle unraveling
of the need to always be in control.
And in that surrender,
there is something unexpectedly beautiful,
something warm,
something whole.
I am not disappearing in you.
I am being met.
In your stillness, I expand.
In your closeness, I breathe.
And in the silence we share,
I am no longer afraid
to be consumed
by something that feels like home.
