“Softly, Slowly”
 
Modern Acoustic Ballad

 (Guitarra)
 
[Verse 1]
If you love me, love me softly
It has to be slowly
'Cause I don’t even know if it’s love
If it’s friendship… or desire
Or all of it at once, a tangled fire
Maybe it’s more than I can understand
 
[Verse 2]
I laid your heart bare
And saw you sweeter, more pure
Your refined, timid tenderness
I get lost in the silence between your words
In gestures louder than any phrase
And still I can’t tell what’s real
 
[Pre-Chorus]
But every time you walk in
My whole world feels found again
And I lose myself on this road
Where doubt and longing intertwine
 
[Chorus]
I don’t know how to speak of love
Without thinking of you
'Cause deep down, you teach me
That love is more than wanting — it’s surrender
It’s all of it together, mixed and true
Love, friendship, passion
I can’t explain it… I just feel it
 
(Guitar riff)
 
[Verse 3]
If you love me, love me slow
There’s no need to rush
I’m made of silence and caution
And still, I crave your touch
I let time be our ally
Maybe the answer will come along the way
 
[Bridge]
And if love is more than words can say
Let it live in our eyes, in the wind, in the air
In every kiss, in every unspoken phrase
Lived out in gestures, in moments we share
 
[Final Chorus]
I don’t know how to speak of love
Without thinking of you
You are what I search for, what I don’t yet know
And still, I go on…
Caught between fear and wanting you near
In every way you choose to appear
And deep down — what is love, if not all of this combined?
 
[Outro]
If you love me, love me softly
Love me slowly… and I’ll surrender
Because in the end, we’re only feelings
Alive, confused, but real — forever.
