Right Here, Softly

Hey…

Come a little closer.

Your laugh fills up the quiet spaces,

Like it knows where I’ve been.

You don’t rush me, don’t ask questions,

Just let me fall right in.

Every scar I tried to hide away,

You hold like it’s okay.

With you, nothing feels too heavy,

Nothing needs explaining.

I don’t need perfect timing,

I don’t need grand displays.

If I’m standing next to you,

I’m already in the right place.

I wanna stay right here, softly,

Where your hand fits into mine.

If the world gets loud and lonely,

We’ll just let it pass us by.

I don’t need forever promised,

Just tonight and what feels true.

If love is quiet, warm, and honest—

Then I’m already in love with you.

Mm…

Yeah…

You say my name like it’s important,

Like it means something new.

You notice things I don’t talk about,

Still know what to do.

We make plans we don’t write down,

Just smiles, just staying around.

Every moment feels unguarded,

Like I’m safe without a sound.

I used to fear the in-between,

All the quiet, all the space.

But you turn the stillness golden,

Just by staying.

I wanna stay right here, softly,

Every breath falling in time.

If the night feels slow and open,

Let’s just let it be ours tonight.

I don’t need fireworks or signs,

Just your shoulder, close to mine.

If love is gentle, real, and true—

Then I’m already in love with you.

No pressure, no lines to cross,

No roles we have to play.

Just two hearts learning how

To choose each other every day.

I’ll stay right here, softly,

Even when the moment’s small.

Through the laughter and the quiet,

I’ll be here through it all.

I don’t need a louder feeling,

I don’t need to prove it too.

If love is showing up and staying—

Then I’m already in love with you.

Mm…

Right here…

Softly.
