Meant to Return Meant To Stay

There was a time in my life when I felt completely lost.

I didn’t know where I was headed or even who I was anymore.

And then, one day, I came across you.

It wasn’t anything extraordinary at first, just a simple interaction, a spark on Litmatch that caught my attention.

But little did I know, that spark would grow into something that would change everything.

I wasn’t in a good place, emotionally or mentally.

I had walls built up around me, trying to protect myself from any more hurt.

When you came into my life, I tried to push you away.

I didn’t think I deserved the kind of love you were offering.

But you didn’t give up on me.

You stayed.

You didn’t just walk away like I expected, and somehow, you made me believe that maybe just maybe love could be gentle, could be safe.

You came back, not with force,

but with a quiet, reassuring kind of love.

And somehow, you gave me the hope I desperately needed to face each new day.

I don’t know if you realized how much that meant to me how much you meant to me.

There were days when I felt so broken,

so far from being okay, yet you stayed.

You stayed beside me through all the darkness.

Even when I couldn’t see the light, you believed in us.

You loved me even when I didn’t love myself,

and that made me realize something

you weren’t just any person.

You were the one I was meant to hold on to.

I didn’t know it then, but over time, I began to dream with you.

We shared this vision of a future together,

a future we were going to build, no matter how long it took.

A house, a car, a life we could be proud of.

And I knew, no matter what, I would be there, cheering you on

as you worked toward becoming the CPA you always dreamed of.

I was with you, every step of the way,

because I believed in you just as much as I believed in us.

Together, we would create something beautiful.

We had a shared sense of purpose, a sense of direction that was strong and bright.

In Pasig, under the soft glow of the city lights,

we began to lay the foundation of our story.

It was there that I realized you had already taken my heart,

and you weren’t letting go.

You were the one.

The one I never wanted to let go of.

There were moments, of course, when I made mistakes.

I’m not perfect, and I know I hurt you sometimes maybe unintentionally, but still.

And yet even when I was at my lowest,

when everything felt like it was falling apart, you were there, holding my broken pieces.

You never ran from me,

you never hid from the tough moments.

You stayed always by my side.

And so, I promise you now, with everything that I am,

that my heart is true.

Every day, no matter the challenges or the obstacles that come our way,

I will choose you.

You are my peace the part of me that makes everything else feel right.

Am

Even when life is messy and unpredictable,

I choose you. Always.

Yes, I’ve hurt you once or twice,

but I will love you all my life.

You’re my peace, my sweetest part

my forever, my whole heart.
