I Was Always Looking for Love, Not Knowing I’d Already Found It
I never know if you’re really real,
Or just a dream my heart can feel,
Like quiet stars above the night
That glow too softly, yet too bright.
Because I searched for something wrong,
A tiny place you don’t belong,
A little flaw, a hidden scar
But perfect souls are what you are.
And maybe people wouldn’t see
The silent things you did for me,
The way you turned my darkest skies
To quiet dawns and brighter eyes.
Before you came, I lived inside
A colder heart I used to hide,
Low energy, a silent flame,
A girl who barely knew her name.
But then you came into my days
And changed my nights in quiet ways,
You took the storm I held so deep
And turned its thunder into sleep.
No loud applause, no shining stage,
Just gentle strength that turned the page,
A look, a laugh, a simple sign
That somehow told me I was fine.
It’s funny how our story grew
In seventh grade we never knew
Two girls who couldn’t stand the sight
Would one day walk the same path right.
Now every road belongs to us,
Each day we walk, each ride, each bus,
The same long way, the same school gate,
The same bright sky that guides our fate.
Erasmus nights beneath the skies,
Beach Please with music, waves and cries,
Vox Maris winds along the sea
All hold a piece of you and me.
And yet the place that feels most true,
The quiet world that holds us two,
Is just a bench outside your door
Where hearts spoke deeper than before.
Where thoughts we never used to say
Somehow just slowly found their way,
Where silence felt like something warm
A peaceful eye inside the storm.
You notice things no one would see,
The hidden stars inside of me,
The dreams I keep, the skies I chase,
The quiet hope I can’t replace.
You saw the child I used to be,
The loss that still lives deep in me,
My grandpa gone, the silent ache
No passing years could ever break.
And in a gift both small and bright
You wrapped that memory in light,
A heart with wings, so pure and true,
A gentle sign that came from you.
And maybe I don’t always show
The depth of love you truly know,
Maybe my ways are strange to see
But they still mean the world to me.
Sometimes the gifts I choose to give
Are just the way I show I live,
My quiet proof, my little art
Of showing love that’s in my heart.
But deeper truths still stay the same:
Through time, through joy, through fear, through pain,
If every road should disappear
I’d still want you forever near.
People say they’ve never known
A bond like ours that brightly shone,
Not in the movies, not in art
A friendship written heart to heart.
And maybe they are right to stare,
Because a thing like this is rare,
A bond no distance could divide,
A soul that walks right by my side.
So if one day the stars should fall
And silent shadows cover all,
If every road we knew should end
And time forgets the word “best friend”
One truth would still remain for me
As endless as the open sea:
If I could live this life once more,
I’d search the universe before
Until the stars aligned anew
Just so my path would lead to you.
Because the greatest gift to me
Was never fate or destiny
It was the moment life allowed
My soul to find yours in the crowd.
