The moment our eyes met felt like a truth I wasn’t ready for
a gentle rise of light across the edges of my life
Had time unveiled you sooner I would’ve opened every door
and walked with you through softness untouched by any strife
Your voice arrived as something I had always deeply known
a distant echo carried from a place my heart once lived
If destiny had moved a little faster toward our own
I’d give the younger version of myself your love to give
The universe miscounted when it tried to measure love
sending you after miles of nights that left me full of ache
Yet even late you shine like constellations bright above
a star that found its way to me through every loss and break
Someday if the skies reset and start their time anew
I’ll meet you in the morning before shadows learn to fall
When I found you too late I still knew my path was you—
and next time love arrives
before the world can stall
