**Verse 1**
Every second year, the world brings you near,
A familiar smile after miles of time.
A few precious hours, then you disappear,
But your light keeps burning through every night.
You never knew the weight I used to bear,
Or how your kindness found me in despair.
You didn’t have to promise you would stay—
You gave me hope enough to choose another day.
**Pre-Chorus**
You taught me strength can be soft and true,
That courage can look like someone like you.
When I forget the good this world can hold,
I remember the warmth of your golden soul.
**Chorus**
You saved me without knowing,
With the way you made me see
There was more than all the darkness,
There was still a life for me.
And though my heart will hold a quiet love
You may never understand,
Your friendship is the miracle
I will treasure while I can.
**Verse 2**
I’ve kept the words between the lines,
A secret melody across the years and miles.
Not because you’ve ever let me down,
But because I’d never risk the trust we’ve found.
You inspire every step I dare to take,
Every piece of courage I create.
And if we only meet when calendars align,
Your goodness still lives in this heart of mine.
**Bridge**
Someday, I hope I find a love
With your patience, your faith, your open hands—
Someone whose heart shines just as bright,
Someone who helps me understand:
You were never meant to be mine,
But you showed me what love ought to be.
And that truth is not a loss—
It is a gift you gave to me.
**Final Chorus**
You saved me without knowing,
Not by being everything I dreamed,
But by being proof that kindness
Is as real as it can seem.
I’ll always love you softly,
Like a star beyond my view,
But I’ll cherish what we have—
A friendship strong and true.
Every second year, I’ll meet you
With a grateful heart anew;
And I’ll keep becoming stronger
Because I once was saved by you.
