you make me feel safe...
like i never needed to hide
any understanding and acceptance
i’ve ever desired comes from your eyes
you made me lose all willpower
i had no choice but to confide...
you make me feel
safe enough to heal openly
without any closeted regard
you make me feel
safe enough to try love again
even after these scars...
you make me feel
safe enough to lay all of my burdens down
so i don’t have to carry this weight
safe enough to pursue my dreams now
because it feels dangerous to wait
safe enough to flourish now
before it all goes to waste
you make me feel
safe enough to start over
without any closure
safe enough to shine my light
at maximum exposure

you came in as a light and since you’ve shined on me
my confidence has never been this bright
you make me feel safe enough to be wrong
because sometimes i’m not always right
you make me feel safe enough
to accept correction
not saying that you know best
but you could see where i may have blocked my blessings
my life has been a test
everything seemed so challenging until i met you
you make me feel safe enough to lay my weapons down and just lay with you
you make me feel safe enough to pray with you
because i know for certain God will listen...
you make me feel safe enough to get close again
when all i know is distance...
you make me feel safe enough to use all of my words
and clear my voice before i speak
you make me feel safe enough to love aloud and unapologetically as love can be
you make me feel safe enough to be certain
with you, my love
my heart doesn’t need to think
you make me feel safe enough to get out of my seat
and reach for everything i once felt was out of reach
you make me feel safe enough to share every emotion
that lingers inside of me
you make me feel safe enough to believe
in the things that are far beyond what i perceive
you make me feel safe enough to restore my faith
because it all takes is a seed...
you make me feel safe enough
to admit that you’ve planted well in me...
