RIGHT WHERE YOU BELONG

I DIDN’T SEE IT THEN

I didn’t see it then, but I see it now,

The way you smiled when I walked around,

You flirted lightly, I played it dumb,

Didn’t know love was what I was running from.

We sat for hours, talking ‘bout nothing,

You listened close, like it meant something,

I thought we were just killing time,

Didn’t know your heart was already in mine.

⸻

I didn’t see it then, I swear it’s true,

But every road somehow led me to you,

I was late to feel what you already knew,

But I’m here now, and I’m staying too.

⸻

We broke apart over words gone wrong,

Silence filled the spaces where we belonged,

That month without you taught me clear,

Love’s loudest lesson shows up in fear.

I walked alone through familiar streets,

Every place still sounded like you to me,

When we talked again, no walls in sight,

Just honesty under a porch light.

⸻

I didn’t see it then, but I see it now,

How every step led me here somehow,

I was scared of love, scared of truth,

But loving you feels like something I can do.

⸻

If I missed the signs, I’m sorry for that,

I learned your worth when I had to look back,

I don’t promise perfect, I promise real,

And I’ll say the things I’m scared to feel.

I won’t walk away when it gets hard,

I won’t leave you guessing where we are.

⸻

I didn’t see it then, but I swear I do,

There’s no one else my heart runs to,

If love is choosing, day by day,

Then I choose you in every way.

Yeah, I didn’t see it then, but I see it now,

I know what this love’s about,

I was late — but I made it through,

And I’m here now, choosing you.

⸻

I didn’t see it then…

But I see it now.
