I walked alone through borrowed days
The sun would shine, then slip away
And though I smiled and played the part
There lived a silence in my heart
You came along, not knowing much
Just brushed my world with tender touch
And in the stillness of your gaze
You taught my lonely soul to stay
And I loved you so—before you knew
Before your eyes ever looked through
The walls I built, the quiet ache
The songs I wrote for silence’s sake
And I loved you then, with all I had
A love too still to ever ask
But deep inside, I always knew…
I’d wait until you knew
They said that time would make me wise
But love, it stayed like lullabies
And every word I couldn't say
I sang alone along the way
Yes, I loved you so—before you guessed
Before your name lived in my chest
Before your hand had touched my skin
You lived in every song within
And though I stood a step behind
You owned each thought that crossed my mind
And still I wait, forever true…
Until you finally knew
If someday you hear this tune
And find the hush beneath the tune
Just know this heart—it always knew...
I loved you, long before you knewmore
