Evening folds around our skin
A tender hush that draws us in
Shadows tremble where we stand
Reaching softly hand to hand
Your voice curls warm around my ear
Turning distant edges near
My drifting thoughts are led to rest
In the haven of your chest
A single look unties the pain
Letting hope take root again
Your quiet breath against my cheek
Builds the strength I once felt weak
Stay beside me through gentle night
Where hearts align without a fight
Nothing falters nothing breaks
When our shadows lean together in place
