You didn't ask me for explanations You didn't trace my past in lines You looked at me like I was present Not a question waiting for time Your silence wasn't an absence It was space where I could stand For the first time, I felt my body Didn't need to ask for permission to exist I spent years adjusting my edges Trying not to take too much room Then you sat across the table Like I was already enough I don't disappear when I'm with you I don't perform, I don't pretend My name sounds honest in your mouth Like it finally learned where to land No promises carved in stone No fear of what comes next If love is this kind of quiet I can live inside it I know love that comes like thunder And love that leaves a Mark But what you give me is simpler A steady flame, not a spark You don't ask me to be smaller You don't need me to be strong You let me rest in who I am And somehow, that feels like home I used to love from tension From fear of being seen Now love feels like breathing No countdown in between I don't disappear when I'm with you I don't blur to fit your frame My voice stays right where it belongs And you don't flinch when I say my name No rules written in fire No future we must defend If love can stay this human I don't need it to be loud Some loves teach you survival Some teach you desire But the rare ones Teach you how to stay I don't disappear when I'm with you I don't trade truth for grace I stand whole in the room And you don't look away If this is all love is meant to be No stage, no disguise Then let it stay exactly here Where my name feels safe I don't disappear when I'm with you I don't trade truth for grace I stand whole in the room And you don't look away If this is all love is meant to be No stage, no disguise Then let it stay exactly here Where my name feels safe No echo No rush Just staying
