Description
From Chapter 62, “Trust,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act III: Trust and Letting Go.
Belle is becoming acutely aware of the danger she may be in if she doesn't check the trust that Aaron is fostering in her. This fear is evident in these words: "Because trust feels like walking on thin ice, I’m not sure I can survive drowning twice." This song invites us to explore the quiet strength found in trust, a feeling often hidden beneath fear and uncertainty. It captures the delicate balance between fear and courage, reminding us that trust isn’t loud or immediate but grows softly from within. Patient love can create a space where trust can arrive in its own time, offering a gentle kind of healing.
Lyrics
It waits till you feel it… then whispers fear.
Love comes loud, I know that sound,
It burns, it pulls, it spins you around.
But trust moves soft, beneath the skin,
You don’t feel it… till you step in.
Because trust feels like walking on thin ice,
I’m not sure I can survive drowning twice.
Love can bruise, and leave you barely alive,
But trust could be the break I don’t survive.
I learned to give without giving in,
To let them close, but never win.
I kept my exits dressed as grace,
Left before I lost my place.
Because trust feels like walking on thin ice,
I’m not sure I can survive drowning twice.
Love can bruise, and leave you barely alive,
But trust could be the break I don’t survive.
He doesn’t ask, he doesn’t claim,
Doesn’t chase me, doesn’t complain.
My worth’s not measured by what I give,
He just stands there… and lets me live.
He touched my sides, the world went still,
Not a demand, far more than a thrill.
Those steady hands, that quiet stay,
I caught the breath that said: lean that way.
Because trust feels like walking on thin ice,
I’m not sure I can survive drowning twice.
Love can bruise, and leave you barely alive,
But trust could be the break I don’t survive.
Maybe trust isn’t fear erased,
Just fear no longer taking first place.
If something greater is holding me still,
Maybe true love can wait until…
Until that day when maybe… I can trust and walk that way.
