Love Was in the Breathing

Come sit with me A moment You don't have to try You've carried so much silence You forgot you were alive I've watched you Through the waiting Through every quiet plea I was never far I was you With closed eyes You kept looking For a reason For a sign to believe But love was in the breathing You never thought to keep This is love The hand you're holding Not distant Not unfolding This is who stayed When you thought you were alone This is love And you've always known You don't need To be stronger You don't need to be whole Every crack you've been hiding Is a doorway home You called it Something higher You called it a name But it was speaking In your voice All along Every hope You ever trusted Every tear that fell in grace Was a soft reminder You were never Misplaced This is love The truth you're feeling Not above you Just revealing This is the peace When the search is finally done This is love And we have always been one Lean into This knowing Let the doubt Go quiet in the light Nothing sacred Is being asked of you Just rest Inside what's right No proving No becoming No debt left to repay Only gratitude rising For what never Went away Thank you for the waiting Thank you for the pain Thank you for the moment You stopped calling love A name Thank you for remembering Thank you for the sight Thank you for coming home Tonight This is love The breath you're taking In every step You're making Nothing left to seek Nothing broken to atone This is love And you are finally home Stay There is nowhere else To be Love was in the breathing All along
