Him I Call “Love”

He stole my heart
In a quiet way
I couldn't run
I had to stay

There were things
I had to do
I just couldn't
Fall in love too

He was quietly soothing
And steady as a rock
He really listened
As I opened up and talked

I prayed for strength
And that's what I got
In the arms of someone
I hadn't sought

Without probing
Or uttering a sound
By holding me up
Just being around

I wonder how
It came to be
He took the time
To be with me

Gentle and caring
Right from the start
The person he is
Unchained my heart

I thought it only
Came from God above
But it comes from me
For him I call LOVE
