Somehow, Always You

I met you not by grand design,
No thunder crash, no warning sign.
But in your eyes, a gentle flame,
And something whispered out my name.

You smiled like we had met before,
Though I had never seen you more.
It felt like home, like morning dew,
A voice inside said, “This is you.”

There was no map, no step to trace,
No ribboned path, no perfect place.
Yet somehow time just led me near,
And in that moment, all was clear.

Somehow, it was always you,
Across the storms, the skies so blue.
No matter how the world may spin,
My heart would find its way again.
You’re every word I never knew,
A silent wish that just came true.
I never asked the stars for signs,
But still you found your way to mine.

If life had turned a different way,
Would we still meet some other day?
Would I still feel this sudden pull,
A force that makes the silence full?

We didn’t chase, we didn’t run,
The moment bloomed, then we were one.
No speeches made, no lights that flashed,
But something deep inside us matched.

It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t fast,
Just like a song built strong to last.
I couldn’t fight it if I tried,
You came and made the world collide.

Somehow, it was always you,
Through lifetimes old and mornings new.
Though time may tear and winds may cry,
You’d still be standing by my side.
You’re every beat my heart once missed,
A dream I didn’t know exists.
I never called, but still you came —
Like fire drawn to gentle flame.

Somehow, through every twist and turn,
Through lessons we had yet to learn,
Across the dark, through skies of grey,
Your love still lit my quiet way.
No past too deep, no night too long,
You’ve always been where I belong.
Before I knew what love could be —
Somehow, your soul was part of me.

In every choice I didn’t make,
In every road I failed to take,
There still was something pulling through —
A thread that always led to you.

No rules to bind, no fate confessed,
But in your arms, I found my rest.
A thousand lives, a thousand ways,
And I would choose you every day.

Somehow, you were always near,
A whispered thought I longed to hear.
Through distant dreams and skies unknown,
My soul still called your heart my own.
You moved through time without a trace,
Yet love remembers every face.
No fate too far, no path too wide —
Somehow, you’ve been here all the while.

Somehow, it was always you,
The final piece, the missing clue.
No matter how far hearts may roam,
With you, I’ve finally come home.
You’re not just love, you are the truth —
The proof that dreams outlive our youth.
So let this song be all I do —
To say that it was always you.

Somehow, in every breath I take,
In every dawn, in each heartbreak,
You were the light I never knew,
The silent thread that pulled me through.
No need for stars, no grand review —
My heart has always pointed to you.
So if there’s one thing I hold true,
It’s this — it’s always been you.
