FOREVER IN YOUR ARMS
Noir Rivers
I used to hide the hurting before it reached my eyes
Scared that if you saw me, you would step aside
But you stayed in the quiet, like you already knew
Some hearts need a little time before they open true
There's comfort in your staying, there's mercy in your tone
You don't leave the room when I feel alone
You give me a love that doesn't run when the night gets hard
Soft enough to hold me steady with my heart
A love that doesn't run, warm beneath the sound
Even when I break down, you don't turn around
You don't ask for perfect, you don't need me strong
You let my tired silence take as long as it wants
Every fear gets smaller when your patience moves near
You make the hardest moment feel less sharp, less clear
The soul in how you listen, there's peace in how you stay
You don't push the pain out, you let it fade away
You give me a love that doesn't run when the night gets hard
Soft enough to hold me steady with my heart
A love that doesn't run, warm beneath the sound
Even when I break down, you don't turn around
No rescue speech, no perfect plan, just your hand and where I am
No fear to hide, no need to prove, you stay close and I move through
A love that doesn't run, meets me where I fall
Every darting part of me learns it can be small
Slow breath, clear heart, peace I can trust, I can heal right here
In a love that stays with us
