My Quiet Universe

That day I came to you with trembling hands

Interview fears spilling from my eyes

You did not ask for explanations

You simply pulled me close

And in your arms I found a silence

So gentle it healed me

While we were watching Welcome to Darry

All I could think of was you holding me again

As if your embrace was my favorite scene

More comforting than any story on the screen

I do not know how you do it

But you hear what my heart whispers

Even when my lips stay quiet

In that moment

I found my whole world resting against your chest

Loving you feels like a soft breeze

Warm, steady, and certain

I want to love you the way Shams loved Rumi

With depth that has no edges

With devotion that feels like prayer

I know I get upset sometimes

I know my moods rise like sudden storms

But beneath all of that

There is only one truth

I just want you

Every time I see you

I fall a little harder

I never knew one person

Could become my universe

With you

I am safe

I am loved

I am protected

And I am home.

He is my Sun

They say,

Sunflowers turn toward the sun,

Without being told to.

I think heart do that's too.

Because in crowded rooms,

On heavy days,

In quiet moments, no-one notices,

I'll always find myself turned towards him.

It isn't forced,

It just happens.

The way a sunflower turns,

Like it was always meant to.

He's my sun,

The light I turn to.
