There is a voice in this world

that feels like cool water on a burning day.

The coolest voice I’ve ever heard 

it doesn’t shout to be noticed.

It just arrives,

and suddenly my shoulders drop,

and the noise in my head goes quiet.

There’s a way his voice cools me

and still brings me warmth,

like moonlight on skin,

like a blanket when the night is heavy.

I didn’t mean to fall this far into his songs.

But one by one, they found cracks in me

and stayed there.

Now I’ve grown to love not just the melody,

but the man who breathes life into it.

I’m always excited when I see any of his videos online.

My chest does that little jump.

“New one.”

And I press play like I’m opening a letter meant for me.

This isn’t just “I like your music” love.

This is deeper.

This is “your voice walked with me through hard days” love.

“Your songs kept me company when no one did” love.
