I saw you once, and my heart did race,

But you didn’t see me in the crowded space.

I dreamed of you, night after night,

But it was just me, holding on tight,

A one-sided love, so quiet, no voice,

A painful longing, not by choice.

I wished and hoped, but deep inside,

I knew it was just a lonely ride.

One day, a love I didn’t choose,

A bond that felt like worn-out shoes.

It wasn’t magic, it wasn’t right,

It felt like walking through endless night.

The love we don’t want, it wasn't true,

I tried to care, I tried to stay,

But love can’t grow in a forced way.

A love my heart could not pursue.

Then a shared journey to make things fit,

We found a way, bit by bit.

It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t grand,

But we held on tight with steady hands.

Through little acts and daily care,

A quiet love grew unaware.

Not the spark, but something kind,

That’s the love we adjust to.

And then one day, I found my place.

No need to force, no need to try,

It just felt right, like the open sky.

You were the love I’d waited for,

With you, my heart could ask no more.

A love so real, so simple, so true,

My life began the day I met you,

You were the right person at wrong time.
