I came Back True

Seven years of walking out in the wild

Trying to remember who I was inside

I tore down walls, I burned old skin

Had to get lost to come back again

I blamed the dark, I blamed the pain

Ran from us in a hurricane

But every road of finding me

Had your shadow walking next to me

We ain’t finished — just torn and tried

Love like ours don’t just die

Seven years and the truth came through

I was finding me — still loving you

Not the same girl who walked away

I did the work, I learned to stay

Whole on my own, and it’s still true —

Every part of me knows you

I met my ghosts, I faced my fire

Sat with the ache and the buried wire

Healed the places I used to hide

No more running from what’s inside

But healing didn’t erase your name

Didn’t wash you out like rain

It cleared my eyes so I could see

What you have always been to me

We ain’t finished — just torn and tried

Love like ours don’t just die

Seven years and the truth came through

I was finding me — still loving you

Not the same girl who walked away

I did the work, I learned to stay

Whole on my own, and it’s still true —

Every part of me knows you

This time it’s not fear, not need, not fall

I don’t disappear in love at all

I stand in my truth and choose your hand

Not half a heart — a whole grown woman

We ain’t finished — we’re rebuilt strong

Time proved where we belong

Not by habit, not by fear —

But by love that stayed right here

I didn’t come back broken through —

I came back true.

And truth still leads me home to you.
