More Than Just Words

(Verse 1) You curl up by the window when the sky turns gray, Tail swayin’ slow, like you're dancing the pain away. And I—I'm just a mess in a world I can't mend, But with you, I’m not pretendin’—I’m just me again. (Verse 2) They say I dream too wild, that I chase the absurd, But you smile, and say, "Go on, fly with those birds." No eye-rolls, no cages, just love with no end, You're my compass, my constant, my dearest best friend. (Chorus) I don't say “I love you” nearly enough, You’re silk in a world that’s brittle and rough. You’re the hush in my storm, the still in my sea, You make bein' broken feel alright to be. So let me say it clear, let me sing it true— There’s nobody I could ever love like you. (Verse 3) You’re there for the lost ones, the strays and the scarred, With claws in the fight, but a soul soft and starred. I’ve seen how you hold them, even when you break, Givin’ more of yourself than the world ever takes. (Bridge – softly swinging) And I worry sometimes, that you don’t quite see, What it means to be seen—the way you see me. So here’s my confession in rhythm and rhyme: I’ve loved you forever, through space and through time. (Chorus – fuller, warmer) I don't say “I love you” nearly enough, You're laughter in rooms that used to feel tough. You're the warmth in the night, the purr in my peace, With you, all the chaos and heartbreak… they cease. So hear it now, love, ‘cause every word’s true— There’s nobody I could ever love like you. (Outro – soft piano) So curl up close, let my hands trace the lines, Of the life that we've built through the pain and the shines. And when I forget, or I fumble the cue— Just know that I breathe, I dream… I live for you.
