I found you in an ordinary moment,
Like fate was dressed in work boots and a smile.
I wasn't chasing anything forever,
Just trying to make it through another mile.
Then somehow you started reading pages
I'd never let another person see.
You understood the words I couldn't speak...
Like you'd always known me.
You saw the storms behind my eyes,
The battles I tried hard to hide.
You never asked me to explain...
You already knew why I cried.
You became my favorite person,
The safest place I'd ever been.
When my heart woke, my soul recognized you
Like we'd already met somewhere before this life began.
You knew me without me talking,
Heard the silence in my chest.
But when your own heart started answering mine...
You looked away instead.
You'd let your guard down piece by piece,
Tell me things you'd never told.
Your laugh got softer when you found me,
Your goodbye lasted just a little too long.
There were moments you forgot to hide it,
When your eyes gave everything away.
Then fear would steal you back again...
Before your heart could stay.
You kept pretending it was nothing,
Just coincidence and time.
But souls don't accidentally find each other...
Not like yours found mine.
You became my favorite person,
The one who felt like coming home.
You knew every crack inside my heart
Before I ever let them show.
I know your soul recognized me too—
I saw it every time we touched.
But admitting love meant risking it all...
And that became too much.
You can silence all the words,
Convince yourself I'm just a friend.
You can bury every feeling
Deep enough to never let it win.
But the truth has never needed permission,
And hearts don't lie to keep the peace.
The hardest person you've been running from...
Has always been yourself.
You'll always be my favorite person,
Even if we never get our chance.
Because for a little while this broken world
Felt softer every time you laughed.
My soul still whispers your name
Like a prayer carried on the wind.
Maybe in another lifetime...
You'll stop running long enough
To let yourself fall in.
Some people spend forever
Searching for the one they're meant to find.
I found mine.
The tragedy wasn't that you never felt it...
It was that you were too afraid
To believe you did.
