Your Name Feels Like Home
Some people arrive loudly,
like storms announcing themselves.
But you—
you came softly.
Like warm light
through half-open curtains,
like a song I didn’t know
my heart had memorized.
And somehow,
without trying,
you made ordinary things
feel beautiful again.
Now sunsets linger longer.
Rain sounds sweeter.
Even silence feels gentle
when your name lives inside it.
If love had a favorite place,
I think it would look like this:
your smile meeting mine
in a quiet moment
the world will never understand.
Because not every love story
needs fireworks.
Some are simply
two souls
learning how to rest
in each other.
