smoky yoke
I overthink the quiet space,
the moments I can’t see your face.
And in that silence, I start to fall
into fears that don’t reflect you at all.
But even with that fear I hold,
there’s something deeper, steady, bold
I love you more than I can say,
in every possible kind of way.
I love the way you stay so kind,
the way you ease my racing mind.
The way you make my heart feel seen,
like I’m not lost, like I’ve always been.
So if I ever seem afraid,
it’s just my heart still slightly frayed.
But underneath that fear I show,
is love for you that only grows.
Because you’re the safest I have known,
the closest thing to “home” I’ve owned.
And even if my mind still shakes,
it’s you my heart would never trade.
