quiet love

it is a quiet love

that beats within my chest 

it speaks of precious times

and forgiveness 

i am listening

for the reassurances 

and i am overwhelmed 

with thankfulness 

interplay

I didn't always know how to respond

when they made me feel like I belonged

I knew one day they'd take it back

and act as if they never once loved me at all

It's the cycle I know well

as if it is my middle name

and yet I am always hoping for better

and believing in more all the same

listen

listen quietly for the example 

walk behind it all your life

the moon, full and bright,

hangs upon a glorious night

look up, look up

it will be alright

there are promises here

and they will save your life
