Arya

I held it down through dry replies
Read between your subtle lies
Made my peace in empty beds
Learned to breathe without what's said

Gave the truth and played it cool
Built you up while I broke rules
Talked like calm, but shook inside
Gave soft love, got sharp in kind

Your silence always spoke too loud
You moved with heat, then dipped in clouds
I stayed patient, took the hint
But soft should never feel like flinch

Soft is showing up, not checking in
Soft don’t test me just to win
It’s clean tone, not raised voice
It’s real choice, not safe noise

It’s nights without the second-guess
It’s arms that don't feel like a test
It’s not retreat, it’s leaning in
It’s peace that lasts past the skin

I’m not cold, I’ve just outgrown
The chase, the guess, the change of tone
If love’s a space, then hold it right
And if you stay, don’t dim the light

I’ve been strong too long, that’s enough
Love don’t land if it don’t feel soft
Don’t need magic, just need peace
If you show up, show up sweet

Don’t need romance wrapped in gold
Just need peace when nights get cold
Keep your flex, bring honesty
Talk to me soft, or let me be

I deserve soft... and I won’t ask twice

I Deserve Soft
