Love With Purpose - Arden Coley
Quiet steps into the night
Soft words resting in the air
I feel your presence close to mine
Like something chosen
Something rare
I've seen love wander without a map
Chasing sparks that fade too soon
But when I found your steady heart
I learned a different kind of truth
You don't promise more than now
You show up when it matters most
In every small and gentle way
You give me what I need to hold
You listen past the surface sound
Hear the feelings I don't name
You make room for all my fears
And never make me feel ashamed
With you love isn't rushed or loud
It's patient, calm and clear
Built from trust and simple acts
That say I'm always here
This is love with purpose
Chosen, not purchased
Every step we take is slow
Every moment has a stance
This is love with purpose
Soft but standing strong
I don't just feel it in my heart
I know where we belong
If the future asked for time
Or bends the plans we made
I won't let go of what we built
For fear of what might break
This love is more than feeling good
It's care that stays and grows
A promise made in quiet ways
They only patience knows
This is love with purpose
Gentle, deep and true
Not just something we fall into
But something that we choose
This is love with purpose
Have it open hands
Every day I wake and know
I'm exactly where I stand
So let the world keep rushing by
We'll move with hearts alive
This love was built with purpose
Yours and mine
