I love you
always
[Verse 1]
There's a part of her that tends the clock
wants to freeze the world before it breaks
a child with eyes too wide to defend
hoping time might pass her by

She curls up safe to avoid the fall
I see her there—I love her all
not for who she used to be
but for the way she still believes

[Verse 2]
There’s a part that wakes and breathes just fine
laughs like pain was never near
she lives in moments light and clear
unburdened with thoughts of fear

She lets the sunlight touch her skin
and I don’t ask what hides within
I take her joy however brief
and savor her quiet relief

[Pre-Chorus]
She is not too much to hold
she is not too sharp to soothe
every version she becomes
I will still choose

[Chorus]
I love all of her
the girl who hides the one who runs
the one who freezes when it's done
the fire that fights to stay alive
each part of her is still just right
and I won't walk away
I won’t ever walk away

[Verse 3]
There’s a part that flinches at a sound
who looks for exits scans the ground
fear behind her worried face
I know the shape of that escape

She doesn’t have to say it loud
I’ll read her silence in the crowd
I’ll stay right here I’ll keep her close
and let her breathe when she needs it most

[Bridge]
And then the one who won’t retreat
who guards her heart with sharpened teeth
she’d burn it all before she breaks
I see the love behind the ache

[Final Chorus]
I love all of her
the child who froze to stay alive
the one who smiles just to survive
the fear the flame the ones that hide—
she’s whole in every single side
and I won't walk away
I won’t ever walk away

[Outro]
She doesn’t have to choose which one to be
I see them all
I’ll take them all
and I stay always

I wrote a few songs this week. It helps me keep my sanity in check. I reached 600 followers this week—it's starting to snowball—I will reach 700 followers before the end of the week, but it is not enough.  One is all I need, one is enough—YOU are enough.

In the past week, my songs were listened to 15,000 times, but it is not enough, just one would be enough.

You might think it over between us, but you know, unforgettable kind of lasts forever—just saying.  

And for me, YOU are the ONE
and nothing will ever change that.

I love you, sweetheart, always will
even the part of you that needs space
and time to figure all this out. 🧡

Careful, at 3:30 the volume goes up a bit.
I remember what it felt like
to run out of air
Underwater
at that fragile moment—
when the body gives up
before the soul does

And then a hand—
unexpected—
pulling you back
back to breath
back to being

The other night
it happened to me

The current took me
not gently—
it dragged me
to the edge of the waterfall
where the rocks wait
like quiet teeth

I was tired
tired of trying to hold on
so I just didn’t

I let go
and in that surrender
I felt you
I felt what you must have felt

Then—
a hand
out of nowhere
pulling me from the dark
back to myself

Now I understand
now I know the color purple better
now I know
it's not about drowning
it's about a hand
that got in the way
it's about not looking at water
the same way anymore
and  how I love you
even more now
I wrote you a song today
I hope you like it
and I hope it helps

You know I love you
and you can do no wrong
and never will

You think
you left her
somewhere
safe—
a version
trimmed by
loss and cost
resigned
from a rage
that won't
leave you alone

But she's not
so gone

She lives
in what
you are—
the pause
before reply
the way
you lean away
when asking why

She learned
to shed
the ache—
not
what made
you kind
you were
already kind

What pain
erased
was never
the heart
only
its outline

And true love
knows
you are enough—
you always
have been

It's possible—
to keep
the warmth
without the burn
to be the flame
without the fuel
of pain
Just come back we'll figure it out together

— The End —
