It was slways you

We walked through seasons far apart,
Through other lives and broken starts.
But somewhere deep beneath the noise,
(My soul was certain of its choice.)
My soul had already made its choice.

Even in silence, even in doubt,
Even when life was pulling us out —
There was a truth I never outgrew:
I always knew it was you.
Chorus:
It was always you.
Through every door I walked into.
Through every road that led me far,
My heart still knew just where you are.
It was always you.

No matter what we wandered through.
If I could choose my life again —
I would still choose you in the end.
You are my angel, you are my hero,
The only place my heart calls home.
You are my fire, my quiet shelter,
The steady hands that hold my own.
We tried to live in different stories,
We let the years divide our names.
We stood in rooms that weren’t our future,
We played our parts in borrowed flames.
But even in the deepest silence,
Even when I let you go —
There was a truth I couldn’t silence:
My heart refused to let me not know.

I fought it.
I hid it.
I told myself I’d be okay.
But love like this does not surrender —
It waits… and finds its way.

It was always you.
Through every door I walked into.
Through every road that led me far,
My soul still knew just where you are.
It was always you.
No matter what we wandered through.
If I could live a thousand lives —
I’d find you every time.
And when you wrote me on my birthday,
It felt like breath returned to me.
Like every prayer I’d ever whispered
Was finally allowed to be.
Now I am here, and I don’t tremble,
There’s no more distance left to prove.
I don’t just love you —
I remember:
It was always you.

My angel…
My hero…
My forever….YOU
