When Love Learns to Breathe

It can die or grow

When Love Learns to Breathe

Love is not a fire, it is a quiet air.

It fills the spaces between our ribs.

It hums beneath our sleep,

and wakes before we do.

I once thought love was loud,

a storm that shouted its name.

But now I know it is patience,

a hand that stays when silence falls.

We grew through storms and rainy days.

We broke, we mended, we broke again.

Still love breathed, slow and certain,

as if it had nowhere else to go.

It does not leave, not truly.

It changes shape and lingers.

It waits to be recognised,

like sunlight through the curtain.
