We were standing in the doorway Not saying what we both knew The night was heavy with questions I was waiting for you to leave I remember how quiet it got Like the room was holding its breath I’d already prepared my goodbye In my head I thought this was the moment Everything would fall apart But you stayed When it would’ve been easier to go You stayed Didn’t say much, didn’t make a show Just stayed And I didn’t know it then But that was everything You didn’t promise tomorrow You didn’t try to be strong You just sat there beside me Like nothing was wrong I kept talking in circles Trying to push you away But you looked at me steady And stayed I was bracing for the break But it never came You stayed When silence filled the room You stayed Didn’t rush, didn’t move Just stayed And it took me time to see That was love Waiting patiently I’ve learned since then That love isn’t loud It doesn’t always know the words But it knows how You stayed Not to fix, not to save You stayed And that changed everything You stayed And now I understand That was the moment I began You stayed And I stayed too
