Description
From Chapter 52, “Shivers,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act II: Soul to Soul.
When Belle sings: "Your love comes ready, steady, wide, it finds the rooms where I still hide," she shows she understands Aaron sees her as no one else has. It invites us to know a love that is patient, gentle, and unwavering, one that seeks no repayment but offers itself freely. It explores the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, encouraging openness without pressure or expectation. Listening is an opportunity to reflect on what it means to truly receive love, to let it enter even when fear lingers, and to find grace in connection that quietly transforms from within.
Lyrics
I don’t question what your heart can do,
I question what it asks of me to be true.
Your love comes ready, steady, wide,
It finds the rooms where I still hide.
You don’t love halfway, you don’t pretend,
You open your arms, and let it transend.
I let you give, sometimes it makes me shake,
Like I’m standing in a hurricane’s wake
You don’t demand, you don’t pursue,
You love like it’s enough just to be true.
You say you’re ruined for anyone else,
Loving me made you better than yourself.
That should feel like weight, like blame or debt,
But it lands like grace I never earned yet.
So I let you give, I don’t pull away,
Even when fear tells me “don’t stay.”
Your love isn’t chains, it isn’t a claim,
Warms my heart, not demanding the same.
You pray I’ll fly, with or without you near,
That kind of love dismantles fear.
You don’t chase me when I run fast,
You stand where truth is built to last.
You hunger deeper than skin or flame,
You reach for the soul others defame.
You see the parts I’ve always outrun,
And love me still when they come undone.
So I let you give while I find my way,
While I learn what it costs not to run away.
If loving starts with what you do,
Maybe my receiving is a love too.
I won’t promise more than I can stand,
I won’t rush what I don’t yet understand.
But I’m still here, and that’s the truth,
Do I have a love I dare not let loose?
So for now, I let you stay,
Because walking away would cost me more than I can pay.
