In the moment, no answers were shown

But looking back, I should’ve known

 

Deep down something shifted, that wasn’t quite right

I should have told you everything, on that very night.

 

But I was incapable of truly believing, what was really to come

When it was myself that I was deceiving, the waiting was done.

 

It could have been different.

 

I picked up the phone, only one number I knew

In need of great help, God led me to you.

 

You came over quick, determined to fight

You dodged misery and then singlehandedly, you saved a life.
 

The courage you possess, is like none seen before

You are everything I want to be, right down to the core.

 

It could have been different.

 

In need of a home, only one choice was clear

You took me in, while still shedding your own tears.

 

But together we cried, we spoke, and we dealt

Together we grieved, we bonded, we felt.

 

Nothing I would change, of my life before

As my window shut, you opened your door.

 

It could have been different.

 

Something so petty, that hurt so deep

It was you I ran to, and my love you will keep.

 

The comfort of your embrace, I yearn for today

Just knowing you were there, no words need you say.

 

You helped in ways, you will never know

All of my heart, to you I bestow.

 

It could have been different.

 

He said you weren’t well, but still you denied

I wish I could have realized it, when you lied.

 

But that was the way you wanted it, for you’ve waited too long

It is with the love of your life, that you’ve always belonged.

 

In the end it didn’t matter, this way or that

I know you are happy, and one day I’ll have you back.

 

I’m glad it wasn’t different.
