You Were Near

You used to dream of fireworks lighting up the sky

Waiting for someone to pull you to quiet nights

But he came with nothing more than a gentle smile

And you realized love ain't always wild

You thought he'd come in like a storm, loud and strong

But thought was a whisper that you needed all along

You wanted to be swept off your feet and saved

But sometimes love is simple, and that's okay

You were young when you wanted him to be a king

But now you see love's more than a crown or ring
