You walked in like a quiet storm
soft thunder humming under skin
Before I knew what I should feel
your presence pulled my heartbeat in
I tried to keep my careful steps
to guard the edges of my soul
but something in your gentle voice
made all resistance lose control
Some loves arrive without a knock
no grace period no prelude
They slip beneath your guarded breath
and bloom before they’re understood
Now here you are and here I stay—
my heart surrendered to its mission
Some loves come without a warning
and some don’t ask for permission
