- Elements of Us: Quiet Flame -
My love isn’t loud, it doesn’t have to be,
I wear it proud for all to see.
It lives in looks, in quiet grace,
in stolen glances, soft embrace.
It lingers long when words grow few,
a steady fire, deep and true.
No need for thunder, flash, or flame -
it speaks each time I breathe your name.
It’s patient when the world turns fast,
it finds a way, it learns to last.
No show, no script, no grand parade -
just love that doesn’t shrink or fade.
And though the world may crave the loud;
I’ll love you soft, I’ll love you proud.
