Description
From Chapter 37, “Unkind Kindness,” of It’s Impossible by J H McIntosh — Act II: Soul to Soul.
"A part of me came alive I’d never known, a love revealed through you, to me unknown," shows us that no one is more shocked then is Aaron to discover that unconditional love is real. It gently unfolds the delicate balance of giving and receiving, inviting us into a space where love is offered without expectation or claim. It reminds us that true kindness supports freedom and honors individuality, encouraging us to embrace connection without burden or obligation. Listening opens a quiet reflection on how love can be both strong and tender, allowing space to grow and breathe. It’s a thoughtful embrace for anyone seeking peace.
Lyrics
I felt the change before I knew your name,
A quiet warmth, a slow unfolding flame.
A part of me came alive I’d never known,
A love revealed through you, but not my own.
The more I’m given, the more I strangely see,
This love was never mine to claim as me.
I won’t let kindness turn into a chain,
I won’t let love become a weight of pain.
If it helps you breathe, if it helps you rise,
Out of love I give freely because it’s yours.
Yours… it was always yours.
No debt to settle, no price to pay,
If it costs you peace, I’ll step away.
I’ve seen how giving can be misconstrued,
How care gets tangled up with gratitude.
I never want my kindness to make you small,
Or make you feel you owe me anything at all.
I won’t confuse what I receive with something I’m owed,
It’s a gift given freely, not mine to control.
If it lifts your heart, if it serves your life,
Out of love I give freely because it’s yours.
Yours… it was always yours.
Choose yourself, let that be enough,
True love won’t cage what it calls beloved..
Maybe real love learns to slow its pace,
Leaves room for choice, leaves room for space.
I don’t need proof, I don’t need return,
If loving you means waiting, it’s mine to learn.
If love insists, it’s already wrong,
If love is true, it stays this strong.
I’d rather lose what I might gain,
Than have my giving cause you pain.
So take what helps and leave the rest,
Let peace alone be your true test.
If it draws you nearer to who you are,
Out of love I give freely because it’s yours.
Yours… it was always yours.
No claim, no crown, no strings, no ties,
Nothing but truth, not even white lies.
However far your road endures,
The love I have for you… was always yours.
