Still Open

I didn’t close my heart.
I just learned how to guard it
without locking the door.

I walk slower now, but I’m not afraid
I don’t rush love just to feel okay
I let God pace me, step for step
Turns out patience feels a lot like rest

I don’t need sparks that burn the house
I’ve seen what fire without roots burns down
I’m not hardened, I’m refined
Still soft, just clearer with my time

I don’t confuse intensity with truth
Or call anxiety something holy or new
If it doesn’t sound like peace when it speaks
I let it pass me gently

I’m not waiting on a sign from someone else
God already confirmed me to myself

I’m still open, just aligned
Still believing love is kind
Still choosing faith over fear
Still here

I’m still open, not naïve
I know what love requires of me
If it comes, it comes in light
If it stays, it stays right

I don’t audition for affection
I don’t negotiate direction
What’s meant for me won’t feel like war
Won’t ask me who I am fighting for

I bring joy, not a résumé
I bring truth, not a performance play
If you meet me, meet me whole
I’m not here to carry someone else’s load

God rebuilt me without noise
Taught my heart discernment’s voice
Now when love arrives, it won’t confuse
It will feel like home, not something to prove

Lord, keep my heart soft and my footing sure
Let what finds me be mature
I trust You with what’s ahead
I trust You with what You send

I’m still open, just aligned
Still believing love is kind
Still choosing peace that stays
Not fades

I’m still open, not undone
I don’t chase what has to run
If it’s real, it won’t retreat
It will meet me where I am — complete

I didn’t lose love.
I learned how it sounds
when God is the one
keeping the rhythm.
