The Quiet Between Us
There is a quiet between us,
Soft as dusk, deep as trust.
It’s not the noise of grand displays,
But the calm that fills our days.
In that quiet, your hand finds mine,
A simple touch, a gentle sign.
No need for words that flood the air,
Just knowing you are always there.
The world may rush in loud and wild,
But in your eyes, I am a child—
Safe and held and understood,
In ways no other ever could.
The quiet holds our whispered dreams,
Our hopes, our fears, our silent schemes.
It’s in the glance, the pause, the smile,
That makes each moment so worthwhile.
When storms arise and shadows fall,
The quiet’s there, it shelters all.
It speaks of love without a sound,
In that stillness, we are found.
So let the world go on and spin,
We’ll keep this quiet deep within.
For love that’s loud can sometimes fade,
But the quiet—here—is ours to stay.
