Gentle

Caught me by surprise
Hesitant start
Only fools rush in
And I rushed to give him my heart
The wise one take
The selfless break
Or so I learned
But unafraid
You celebrate
The grief, the hurt
Come close
Stay here
And I will keep you safe
Tender
Fragile
But I am not afraid
I know you’re careful
And this love is gentle
Caught me by surprise
Hooked your fingers in mine
No walls to break
You’re always on my side
I know they’re wrong
I know you’re strong
That hasn’t changed
But selflessly
You care for me
Won’t you let me do the same
Come close
Stay here
And I will keep you safe
Tender
Fragile
But I am not afraid
I know you’re careful
And this love is gentle
No matter the end
No matter the distance
I’ll see you again
It’s just the beginning
Oh, I know a place
I know a river
I’ll promise I’ll wait
I promise I’ll linge
Don’t say goodbye
Yet
Come close
Stay here
And I will keep you safe
Tender
Fragile
Forgiving and selfless and brave
Come close
Stay here
And I will keep you safe
Tender
Fragile
But I am not afraid
I know you’re careful
I know you’re careful
I know you’re careful
And this love is gentle
