Love Slowly

"Love Slowly" came from a real moment in my military journey. Coming home wasn't easy. The transition, the memories, trying to find your place again. "I’m fragile, but I’m ready—If you hold me slow and steady."—that's what I felt when I first stepped back on American soil. This song is for every veteran who's made that journey, for every family that waited, for every moment of coming back to the life you left behind.

I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.

This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.

(Vibe: “Love Again” — hopeful romance; twist: soldier learning to trust intimacy again)Tone: Gentle, emotional, healing* Verse 1 I’ve been carrying heartbreak like a second skin,Held shut the doors where love could’ve been.Told myself I wasn’t meant to feel,Wasn’t meant for anything soft or real.But you showed up quiet as the evening rain,With patient steps that eased my pain.Didn’t push hard, didn’t demand,Just offered your soft, steady hand. Verse 2 You said, “I know you’re hurting, babe,But love’s not a war you have to evade.”And little by little I let you close,Felt warmth return to the place I froze.My heart beats different when you’re near,Like it’s remembering how to lose fear.And now I want what I never thought I’d feel—A chance to love with something real. Pre-Chorus I’m fragile, but I’m ready—If you hold me slow and steady. Chorus I want to love again, slowly,Let the past lose its hold on me.Let your hands rewrite the ache,Let your smile teach me what’s not fake.I’m scared, but you’re holy—Yeah, I want to love again… slowly. Bridge Take your time with this broken man—I’ll meet you halfway, hand in hand. * Instruments: Nylon guitar, soft piano, subtle pads, light drums
