Loving twiceRR

The First LightThe world felt soft when you walked in.A sudden calm beneath my skin. I loved the sound of your sweet voice. Loving you was an easy choice. I fell for the smile, I fell for the light,The way you made everything feel so bright.It was warm and new, it was sweet and clear,The easy version of you I kept near. Loving Twice You have to love them twice.Once for the dream, and once for the truth.Once for the spark, and once for the proof.The first time is easy, it's catching the gleam.The second time wakes you up from the dream.The first time you love who they appear to be,The second time changes your history.The Mask SlipsThe mask slipped down on a heavy night.I saw the shadows behind the light.The fears you hide and the words unsaid,The silent storm inside your head.The bruises left by a hard, cold world,The hidden pain that stayed unfurled.You weren't a painting upon a wall,You were human, broken, and starting to fall. Loving Twice You have to love them twice.Once for the dream, and once for the truth.Once for the spark, and once for the proof.The first time is easy, it's catching the gleam.The second time wakes you up from the dream.The first time you love who they appear to be,The second time changes your history. The DepthIt is not ignoring the deep-set pain.It is standing with you inside the rain.It is staying honest when things get rough.It is knowing grace is enough.It respects your boundaries, it makes a roomWhere a wounded spirit can finally bloom. The True Self I didn't run when the armor broke.I listened close when the silence spoke.I chose you then, and I choose you now, With every scar and a quiet vow.This is not a rush, this is not a game.This is love that knows your true name.I love who you are.Changed forever.
