A Little Border

[Verse 1]
I brought you every open door
And wondered why you stepped away
I thought that love meant asking more
Until you named your need for space

[Pre-Chorus]
A promise needs a little edge
A yes means more when no is safe
I’m learning how to meet you there
And leave enough room for your shape

[Chorus]
My love runs wide, but I can learn
Where your horizon starts to turn
A line between us isn’t loss
It gives our meeting somewhere to land
I can be whole and still be near
Hold what is yours, say what I fear
If we can choose the terms we keep
There’s room for something real and deep

[Verse 2]
We make our rules from borrowed words
From little scripts we didn’t write
But we can ask which ones still serve
And build a way that fits us right

[Pre-Chorus]
A promise needs a little edge
A yes means more when no is safe
I’m learning how to meet you there
And leave enough room for your shape

[Chorus]
My love runs wide, but I can learn
Where your horizon starts to turn
A line between us isn’t loss
It gives our meeting somewhere to land
I can be whole and still be near
Hold what is yours, say what I fear
If we can choose the terms we keep
There’s room for something real and deep

[Bridge]
I won’t call every limit cruel
Or make my hunger your command
We’ll write the measure as we go
Two living hearts, two open hands

[Final Chorus]
My love runs wide, and now I know
A river needs its banks to flow
A line between us isn’t loss
It gives our meeting somewhere to land
I can be whole and still be near
Hold what is yours, say what I fear
If we can choose the terms we keep
There’s room for something real and deep

[Outro]
Room to arrive, room to depart
A little border, an open heart
