The world could be loudā¦
too much⦠too fastā¦
But youā¦
you were where it all slowed down.
I didnāt even notice it at firstā
how every time I came undoneā¦
I somehow ended up right beside you.
Like my heart already knew
where it was safe to fall.
You didnāt fix anything.
You didnāt try to.
You just stayedā¦
warm⦠steadyā¦
like a quiet place I could land
without breaking.
Your fur under my handsā¦
your breathing soft and closeā¦
that was enough to quiet everything
I couldnāt carry on my own.
And I leaned into thatā¦
more than I ever realized.
More than I ever said out loud.
Nowā¦
the world still gets heavy sometimes.
Still loud.
Still too much.
And I catch myself searchingā¦
for that place again.
For the way you made everything feel
a little less sharpā¦
a little more gentle.
But maybeā¦
you didnāt take that softness with you.
Maybe you left it here.
In the way my heart still knows
how to slow downā¦
in the way I still reach for quiet
instead of chaos.
Maybe you became
that soft place inside me.
The one that still catches meā¦
even when I fall.
Because love like yours
doesnāt disappear.
It settles.
It stays.
And even nowā¦
when everything feels like too muchā¦
I close my eyesā¦
and somehowā¦
I still land safely
right where you left me. šš¾
