I walked alone through the storm and shade,

With weary steps and hope that swayed.

The world felt cold, the nights grew long,

No hand to hold, no guiding song.

Then you appeared, a silent flame,

No grand design, no worldly fame.

A simple smile, a voice so kind,

A soul that healed my troubled mind.

You saw the scars I tried to hide,

The battles fought, the tears uncried.

Yet never once did you demand,

Just stayed beside, just held my hand.

Through broken days and endless fears,

You lent me strength, you dried my tears.

You taught me love, you gave me light,

You turned my wrongs to something right.

Not bound by time, nor blood nor fate,

Yet hearts entwined, no twist too late.

A bond so rare, so deep, so true,

My past erased, my skies turned blue.

The road ahead may rise and bend,

Yet hand in hand, we shall transcend.

For in your heart, I found my home,

No more to drift, no more to roam.

So here I vow, through years to be,

To stand by you as you by me.

For you are more than just a friend,

My soul’s own light, my heart’s own end.

Forevermore, through thick and thin,

My love, my life, where you begin.
