Time Doesn’t Scare Me

She shows up quietly, never needing a scene Turns small moments into something serene The way she listens, really hears what you say Makes you feel understood in the simplest way She laughs with her eyes, not just with her face Carries a warmth that time can’t erase Not loud with affection, not chasing the spark But steady like light that stays in the dark I’ve learned love isn’t about moving fast It’s knowing what’s real is built to last Sometimes it’s distance, sometimes it’s space Sometimes it’s trusting God with the pace She’s not a moment, she’s more like a line That keeps reappearing throughout my time No pressure, no force, just letting it be Honoring what is, patiently I’d wait seven years just to walk your way And it’d feel like days, that’s all I’ll say It’s a time joke, I know you won’t get the clue But that’s just my nerdy way of loving you
