Description
From Chapter 16, “Emptiness,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act I: Love Awakens.
Belle gently invites us into a space where vulnerability meets quiet strength, reminding us that connection can awaken parts of ourselves we thought hidden. It listens to the tender moments when hope flickers despite past fears, showing how love’s presence can quietly encourage us to trust and grow. Through its intimate melody and heartfelt resonance, it offers a soft reminder that even in the shadows, there is a chance to feel renewed and truly alive. Something in me makes you more alive. Shouldn't I know since it's my insides, is so perfectly "Belle."
Lyrics
You wrote your truth in open light,
While I kept mine locked out of sight.
I never dreamed someone could see,
The one…I’ve hidden…inside of me.
You never asked for a promise,
Claiming me was not your premise.
You just stood still, your eyes on mine,
And silence said, “I’m not confined.”
Something in me makes you more alive,
Shouldn’t I know, sense it’s my insides?
I want to run, yet don’t know why,
Something in me still longs to fly.
You see a world where I belong,
And somehow make my weak seem strong.
I’ve spent my life behind a fence,
When you are near…it’s no…defense.
You stayed while others walked away,
Love’s quiet voice, still bids me stay.
Something in me makes you more alive,
You breathe in hope, where my doubts contrive.
I want to trust in your eyes,
Maybe love gives wings to fly.
Your songs reach deeper, calling me,
Where truth reveals what eyes can’t see.
Somehow you found a hidden part,
And love me past my guarded heart.
A mirror held, yet filled with grace,
You see my heart not just…my face.
You taught me love is not a claim,
It’s giving without need for gain.
Should your love make my soul come more alive,
I fear a fragile flame will not survive.
Something in me makes me want to try,
Yet my past forbids my soul to fly.
Heaven smiles through tears I’ve cried,
Love is where the soul learns…why.
If I should fade before the dawn,
There’s no doubt your love carries on.
If in me the same shall arise,
I too will feel more…alive.
Then I’ll step out of the darkness into the light.
