I wonder if you truly knew How often my joy begins with you. 

No reason, no moment, nothing to prove, My heart just smiles because it’s you.

Perhaps some happiness needs no clue, Some hearts just find their way to you. And mine, without a reason why, My heart finds its greatest joy whenever you’re near.

An introvert’s heart is a garden unseen,

Where calm grows quietly, graceful and green.

They listen with depth, they speak with care, Finding rare beauty others miss there.

They cherish few, but love them true, Their silence often says more than words do.

So never mistake quiet for small, The gentlest souls can inspire us all.
