After the Storm

[Verse 1] I’d been walking with a heart still split in two, Didn’t trust a single light that flickered new, Carrying memories I never meant to keep, I was gathering the pieces after the storm. [Verse 2] You came to me one evening, worn and needing help, And I saw a tired father trying hard to do his best, And I felt a tender pull to help you catch your breath, Not knowing how that moment would begin to mend my heart. [Chorus] I never saw your love coming my way, But it eased the hurt I carried day by day, You were the calm that met me after the storm, And you showed me who I could be after the storm. [Verse 3] We stitched our broken places through the simple work of life, And gathered gentle strength in the calm we built each day, And I saw your wounded heart start mending next to mine, Not realizing love was rising in the life we’d come to share. [Bridge] I didn’t know back then you carried wounds like mine, And somehow we found healing walking side by side, [Outro] And I’m grateful every day you walked toward me after the storm.
