I wandered through the longest paths
pretending I could walk away
Yet every winding road I took
returned to where you stood that day
I claimed it must be accident
but even stars refused to lie
The heavens wrote our meeting twice—
once on earth and once in sky
The further I ran from your warmth
the deeper I felt my soul turn true
You were the lighthouse in the mist
a flame my winter somehow knew
So I returned without direction
no pretense left no map to choose
Every step I took to leave
was born to lead me back to you
