I Adore You
Luke Lotus
I don't love you in loud ways
I love you in the quiet decisions I make
In the pauses where I choose you
Even when no one's watching me stay
I adore the way you exist without trying
Like the world bends gently when you breathe
And I hate how easy it is for you
To mean everything to me
I've loved people before, I've said the words
But never like this never this deep
This feels like surrender without losing myself
Like something my soul decided to keep
And somewhere between fear and devotion
There's a truth I can't undo
I don't just want you in my life
I want to be soft with you
I adore you, more than I should say
In ways that scare me every day
I don't know how, I don't know why
But loving you feels like staying alive
I adore you, without a plan
Without control, without a map in my hands
If this breaks me, it breaks me slow
But I adore you, and you should know
I adore you
In the calm and in the ache
I adore you
In every choice I make
I've learned your silence, learned your tone
The way you leave parts of yourself alone
And I don't try to fix what you hide
I just sit with you inside the night
I adore the mess, the flaws, the truth
The parts you think make you hard to love
Because I see myself in you
And I never learned how to give up
You don't have to be perfect with me
You don't have to stay strong or pretend
I'll love you in the in-between
In the moments that never end
And when the world feels sharp and cold
And you don't know where you belong
I'll be the place you don't have to fight
To feel like you're wrong
I adore you, more than I should say
In ways that scare me every day
I don't know how, I don't know why
But loving you feels like staying alive
I adore you, without a plan
Without control, without a map in my hands
If this breaks me, it breaks me slow
But I adore you, and you should know
I adore you
Even when I'm afraid
I adore you
In every word I don't say
If loving you is a risk, I'll take it trembling
If my heart falls, let it fall in your hands
I don't want a future that feels empty and safe
I want a now that I fully understand
I've been broken by wanting too much
By giving my heart without being seen
But with you, even the fear feels honest
Like I'm finally where I should be
So if I lose myself, let it be here
Let it be in the warmth of your name
I don't need promises, I don't need forever
Just this feeling that feels like home and pain
I adore you, more than I should say
In ways that scare me every day
I don't know how, I don't know why
But loving you feels like staying alive
I adore you, without a plan
Without control, without a map in my hands
If this breaks me, it breaks me slow
But I adore you, and you should know
I adore you
And that's the truth I'll never outgrow
Baby, so what's on your mind?
On mine, it's all about you all the time
Oh, we don't have to go nowhere tonight
It's you and me, we're gonna be alright
I adore you
