**Verse 1**
I’m not the woman who first said yes
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve faced my mess
I broke the mask, I found my name
**Came back whole — carrying living flame**
We didn’t love in a straight-line road
We loved through silence, we loved through load
Through years we couldn’t clearly see
**Still something held you here with me**
**Pre-Chorus**
That kind of thread don’t come from chance
**It’s forged in time and circumstance**
**Chorus**
I choose you now with open eyes
Not from habit, not disguise
Not from fear of being alone
**But from truth that’s fully grown**
I stand whole and take your hand
Not half a heart — **a woman who can**
Love you steady, love you through
**I don’t just remember —**
**I choose you**
**Verse 2**
I won’t go silent to keep the peace
Won’t trade my voice for false relief
**You get my truth, my living breath**
Real love survives honest depth
I see the man behind the wall
The guarded strength, the hidden call
**I know your heart — I’ve seen it stand**
**Quiet and faithful as the land**
**Pre-Chorus**
I’m not here to reshape your soul
**I’m here to meet you whole**
**Chorus**
I choose you now with open eyes
Not from history’s ties
**But from the knowing in my bones**
**This is where my love belongs**
I stand whole and take your hand
No shrinking down to understand
**I meet you equal, tried and true**
I don’t just remember —
**I choose you**
**Bridge** *(building intensity)*
When we break — **I will come near**
**Not disappear behind my fear**
**Repair over pride, truth over role**
**Presence over control**
No perfect script, no grand disguise
**Just your heartbeat next to mine**
**Final Chorus** *(full power, every word a declaration)*
**I choose you now in living light**
**After the years, after the fight**
**After I found my soul again**
**I still walk your direction**
**Whole and awake and standing free**
**Still you — still me — still we**
**Not by memory — but by view**
**Not by past — but by truth**
**I choose you**
**Outro** *(stripped down - voice and heartbeat)*
Clear eyes
Open heart
Still —
**You.**
