I was floating in the silence, in the dark I called the sea

Every laugh was just survival, every smile a plea for peace

Didn’t know that I was sinking, didn’t know I needed air

Till your voice came like a lighthouse

And you were just there

I built walls with my own sorrow, called them strength, wore them proud

But you saw the cracks beneath them, and you never called me out

You just stayed, like it was easy, like my chaos made you whole

Like the pieces I had buried were the ones you came to hold

You’re not ordinary…you’re everything I missed

The steady in my storm, the warmth inside the mist

You didn’t fix me, no, you didn’t try

You just held me where it hurt, and never asked why

You’re the anchor I never thought I’d need

But now I can’t breathe… if you ever leave.

I thought love was something distant,

A maybe, a mistake

But you taught me that connection

Isn’t something we fake

It’s eyes that don’t flinch,

It’s words without fear

It’s you…

Saying “I’m here.”

You’re not ordinary ..you’re every silent prayer

The answer I denied, but always wished was there

You didn’t rescue me..you just believed

And that belief alone was enough to make me breathe

You’re the anchor I never thought I’d need

But now I can’t breathe…

without you near me.

And I’ll never drift again

Not with you in the wind

My compass, my calm,

My love…

My anchor.
