Instead of rushing in,
I’d rather take it slow,
loving you in a way you’ve never known.
You deserve a love
that never makes you question your worth,
a love that lifts you
higher than you’ve ever been.
A love that makes waking up each morning
something to look forward to,
and makes the end of your day
never feel like an end—
but instead,
like coming home
to a love that never fades.
A love that feels like resting
in the arms of tranquility
when you lay your head at night.
