Words from the video
I learned the shape of broken things
Before I knew what love could be
I trusted storms that had a pattern
More than arms that reached for me
I called it calm when I was bracing
I called it strength to never need
But peace felt like an open window
And I was scared of what could leave
My heart was not chasing the hurting
It was looking for what it knew
But God was counting every teardrop
In the nights I barely moved
Pain felt safer than love
When love had never stayed
I knew how to survive the ache
But not how to be safe
I’m learning softness can hold me
I’m learning peace can be true
Love does not have to wound me
To prove that it won’t move
I stayed too long in heavy places
Because leaving felt unknown
I downplayed all the quiet aching
And learned to carry it alone
But gentle hands don’t have to frighten
And quiet rooms don’t have to lie
I’m teaching my guarded heart now
Not every calm means goodbye
I was not broken
I was adapting
I was not hopeless
I was still learning
Pain felt safer than love
When love had never stayed
I knew how to survive the ache
But not how to be safe
I’m learning softness can hold me
I’m learning peace can be true
Love does not have to wound me
To prove that it won’t move
Now I can stay where peace is gentle
Now I can breathe without the fight
God kept the tears I thought were wasted
And led me slowly into light
