When You Held My Heart

When You Held My Heart

Your touch steadied my breath,

Your hands restored my calm,

You held my heart like crystal,

Yet strong enough to guard.

I never knew such quiet,

I never felt such trust,

You spoke without a word,

And still you told me all.

My doubts began to loosen,

My fears began to fall,

You turned my restless edges,

Into something whole.

The world grew soft around us,

Time slowed to match our steps,

Each moment felt like truth,

Each second held its weight.

You carried what I couldn’t,

You lifted what I hid,

You saw the parts I feared,

And loved them without question.

I grew within your steadiness,

I rose within your care,

I found a place to land,

Where I had space to heal.

Still your presence guides me,

Still your love holds strong,

For when you held my heart,

You taught it how to live.
