Until You Knew
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
