Come Love Poem by Edith Niemeyer

[Verse 1]
Come, love,
upon evening's steps,
Where starlight knows my name.
Every quiet shadow listens,
Yet nothing feels the same.
Streetlight halos glow above me,
Holding every fear I've known.
Your hand remembers where I'm trembling,
You won't let me walk alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
Footfalls
finding softer ground,
Your voice becomes a hymn.
Every doubt I've ever carried
Lifts and grows more thin.

[Chorus]
You are the song my heartbeat follows,
Peace in every breath I take.
Low bass humming like a promise—
Gentle waves that never break.
Leading my feet along this roadway,
Through the silence, through the night,
Every step is you beside me,
Walking me home in quiet light.

[Verse 2]
Soft winds
trace our slowing footsteps,
Old fears fall behind.
Where the noise once held my worries,
Now your calm resets my mind.
Every glance becomes a lantern,
Every laugh a softer light.
What was once a lonely journey
Walks with mercy through the night.

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands
wrapped in steady comfort,
My heart in hopes unseen.
Every breath a simple story,
Every pause a place we've been.
The dusk keeps patient, tender vigil,
The sky unfolds anew.
Each quiet word becomes a promise
That I'll get home safe with you.

[Chorus]
You are the song my heartbeat follows,
Peace in every breath I take.
Low bass humming like a promise—
Gentle waves that never break.
Leading my feet along this roadway,
Through the silence, through the night,
Every step is you beside me,
Walking me home in quiet light.

[Bridge]
Should I fear, let it be a moment—
Only breathing once again.
For this path remembers every footstep,
Every joy, each softened pain.
And the rhythm keeps on holding,
Far beyond what eyes can see...
All the ones who walked here for me
Whisper, "You are safe, just be."

[Chorus]
Come, walk
with me, slowly homeward,
Together, hand in hand.
Bassline writes what words can't capture;
Love helps me understand.
With every note and every heartbeat,
The journey still moves on.
Yet within your steady footsteps,
All my restless fear is gone.

[Outro]
For the roadway never truly ends;
It curves in the softest light.
Gentle tones give courage voice,
Quiet pulses guide me right.
And every soul who walks beside me
Adds a comfort to this song,
Until all our wandering settles down
In the place we've been heading all along—
Where your arms, waiting at the door,
Are the home I've needed all along.
