I didn’t notice it at first It came in quiet ways The way your voice stayed even On uncertain days No big arms around me No words I had to keep Just the sense that I could fall And still land on my feet Somewhere between the doubt and hope I felt it settle in I felt safe Not because you said I would be I felt safe ’Cause you never tried to hold me Whatever comes Whatever waits I know how this feels I felt safe You didn’t draw me a future You didn’t promise a plan You just walked beside me Like you always can Even when I questioned Even when I changed You stayed the same In the calmest way And now I know Wherever this goes I felt safe In the space you gave I felt safe In the way you stayed No guarantees No escape Just knowing this feeling I felt safe If the road gets longer If the view disappears I won’t be searching for shelter I’ve been here I felt safe Enough to move Enough to stay Enough to choose Whatever breaks Whatever waits This is the ground I felt safe And I still do
