You Don't Have to Say a Word

Fifteen years of side by side
Best friends before the timing was right
I've always had a million words
You've always held them in your eyes
Sometimes the words get lost midway
Like they're unsure where they belong
But I don't need them anyway
I've know your heart since we were young

When I lost my job and lost my ground
Felt likte the weight was crushing down
You didn't try to give a speech
You justr stayed close, and I found peace
You sit beside me while I work
Watching lines across a screen
You don't have to say a thing
But somehow you steady everything

Every time I walk through the door
You run and say: The baby's, home
And even on my hardest days
With you, I'm not alone

You don't have to say a word
I see it in the way you care
In every quiet little thing
In simply standing there
You don't have to say a word
I feel it in your touch
In every hug that holds me close
And tells me I'm enough
When the world gets loud an blurred
And I'm not sure what I've heard
You're my shelter from the world
You don't have to say a word

Sometimes I'm working way too late
Or gaming just to take a break
You try your best to stay awake
But fall asleep instead
You whisper: Just one minute more
Let's cuddle for a little bit
But one minute turns to hours
As you slowly drift

You wake up with that sleepy smile
I stare at your beautiful face until you say: What?
Then you start to laugth and light up the room
And that small moment fills my world whit joy
Your giggle brings me back to life
Like charging up my soul
You don't even have to try
You make me whole

We speak in hugs and fingertips
In little things we do
In worsd of love that come with ease
And quiet moments too

You don't have to say a word
I see it in the way you care
In every quiet little thing
In simply standing there
You don't have to say a word
I feel it in your touch
In every hug that holds me close
And tells me I'm enough
When the world gets loud an blurred
And I'm not sure what I've heard
You're my shelter from the world
You don't have to say a word

November twenty-third
Two thousand twenty-five
At noon beneath the open sky
Where our first kiss came alive
The Palace of Fine Arts
Where everything began
Sunlighr on your pink beret
My shaking hands in yours that day
I flew my friends to play for us
Violins rising in the midday air
Though nothing felt exactly as rehearsed
Forever was written in your eyes whithout a word
We're meant to grow and build a home
To laugh until we're gray
To raise our kids with gentle hearts
And love them the same way

You'll be the sweetest mom onde day
The kindest soul I've known
I want to grow old next to you
And never stand alone
And when your world feels heavy too
I'll stand as close to you
You won't have to explain a thing
I'll know what you're going through

You don't have to say a word
I'll see it in your eyes
I'll be your calm, your steady place
Your shelter through the night
Just like you've always been for me
That's who I'll be for you
In every quiet, in every storm
My love will carry through
You don't have to say a word
Just hold my hand
You don't have to say a word
I'm right here
