11. Things That Matter

I don’t need promises written out loud No perfect words, no standing ovations I’ve learned the difference Between what shines And what stays I’ve seen the fire I’ve felt the noise I’ve chased the things That didn’t last Now I’m listening closer To what feels calm And solid It’s not the rush It’s not the race It’s what remains When things fall into place It’s the things that matter Quiet and true The way you show up The way you choose No big gestures No need to prove It’s the things that matter That carry us through You don’t try to impress the room You don’t turn love into a show You stay consistent Even when No one’s watching It’s in the pauses Between the lines In how you stay When it’s not easy That’s where I see What lasts It’s not the spark That burns too fast It’s what stays warm When time has passed It’s the things that matter Day by day How you listen How you stay No headlines Nothing new Just the things that matter Holding true When the future feels wide open And the answers don’t appear I don’t need to see it all I just need this feeling here It’s the things that matter Soft but strong The steady ground We’re standing on No grand lines No dramatic truth Just the things that matter Me and you Still here Still sure
