In the Quiet

In the Quiet

(Verse 1)

I used to think that love was just a word you say,

A fleeting feeling that would surely fade away.

I walked in monochrome, a predictable scene,

Then you appeared and painted everything in jade and emerald green.

(Verse 2)

It’s not in grand gestures or in diamonds set in gold,

It’s in the quiet moments that my favorite stories hold.

The way you whisper nonsense, the crinkle by your eyes,

The safety of your silence beneath the evening skies.

(Chorus)

And if the world should lose its light and all the stars grow dim,

I’d navigate the darkness just by listening to your breath within.

You are the constant rhythm, the melody, the rhyme,

The reason I believe in things that stand the test of time.

You’re not a chapter in my life, you are the whole damn book,

And in your simplest, quietest glance, I find all I ever need to look.

(Verse 3)

I memorize the universe the moments that you sleep,

The promises your heartbeat makes, the secrets it does keep.

I’m not a poet or a king, just a man who’s truly known,

The greatest fortune ever felt, is calling you his own.

(Chorus)

And if the world should lose its light and all the stars grow dim,

I’d navigate the darkness just by listening to your breath within.

You are the constant rhythm, the melody, the rhyme,

The reason I believe in things that stand the test of time.

You’re not a chapter in my life, you are the whole damn book,

And in your simplest, quietest glance, I find all I ever need to look.

(Bridge)

Let seasons change and cities fall, let oceans rise and break,

This is the one unshakable vow I will never, ever fake.

My love for you is not a fire—a fire can grow cold—

It is the steady pull of gravity, a story to be told.

(Outro)

So take my hand, not just for now, but for all the suns to rise,

You are the truth behind my every smile, the light behind my eyes.

And in this quiet, know this one thing, simple and so true:
