When Silence Holds

I found your name

in the silence of my storms,

Like candlelight

surviving in the cold.

Everybody leaves fingerprints on the heart,

But yours felt like a place

I could call home.

Late nights, dim lights,

your voice in my chest,

Healing old wounds I never confessed.

You walked in softly,

no war, no disguise,

And suddenly the dark had stars inside.

If tomorrow burns away,

If the sky forgets our names— I’d still reach for you Through

the ashes and the rain.

Because loving you feels holy,

Like heaven learned my language.

You hold my broken pieces Like they were never damaged.

And if my heart stops beating,

Let the final truth be this— In a lifetime full of twilight,

You were the light I didn’t miss.

You saw the tears I

buried under pride,

The tired soul

behind my smile. And somehow your hands

turned pain into peace,

Like mercy dressed in human skin.

So stay when the world goes quiet,

When the applause disappears.

I don’t need forever perfect— Just your heartbeat near.

Because loving you feels holy,

Like destiny finally kissed me… And if love has a face in

this universe,

Baby, it looks like

you. You were the light,

You were the light.
