I learned love in quiet rooms
Where mirrors asked me who I was
I kissed my fears before the world
Could tell me I was too much love

I grew inside unfinished prayers
And fragile dreams I couldn’t say
But every scar became a note
That taught my heart to stay

They told me love should look like this
But love never asked permission
I found myself between the lines
Of my own true definition

Above the clouds, I learned to love
Without disguises, without shame
I held my name with open hands
And finally stayed the same

If loving me is how it feels
Then this is holy, this is real
I am the place my heart belongs
I am my home, I am my song

I watched the years fall like slow rain
On every version I survived
Each goodbye carved another door
Where light could enter my life

I loved in silence, loved too deep
Loved wrong, loved late, loved afraid
But every time I chose myself
I learned a better way

No more hiding in the dark
No more asking to be seen
I don’t need to be forgiven
For loving honestly

Above the clouds, I learned to love
Without disguises, without shame
I held my truth against my chest
And let it call my name

If loving me is how it feels
Then this is holy, this is real
I am the place my heart belongs
I am my home, I am my song

If the world forgets my face
I’ll still remember who I am
A boy who learned to love himself
And turned that love into a plan

Above the clouds, I learned to love
And I won’t ever fall again
Because the arms that hold me now
Are mine, and they understand

I am the love I used to chase
I am the prayer I used to send
I am enough, I always was
And this is how my story ends

Above the clouds, I learned to love
And I won’t ever fall again
Because the arms that hold me now
Are mine, and they understand

I am the love I used to chase
I am the prayer I used to send
I am enough, I always was
And this is how my story ends

Softly
I stay
