Built on Tears

We build our soulmates slow and true,

With quiet hands and hearts that knew

That love is born from ache and grace,

Layered deep in each embrace.

-

The first bricks laid with trembling care,

In laughter soft and moments rare.

Through whispered nights and silent pleas,

We learn to love on bended knees.

-

Each tear that falls leaves something strong,

Fills empty halls, where we belong.

Through crying eyes and quiet pain,

We craft the walls that will remain.

-

Love isn’t flawless, nor is it clean—

It’s pieced from all the heart has seen,

From scars that teach us to believe,

And broken places where we cleave.

-

So here we stand, both whole and bruised,

Two souls by trials and tears fused.

In every tear, we come to know,

A love built slow will never let go.
