Here All Along

Verse 1
Before I knew your footsteps,
Before I knew your name,
I carried you in my stories
Like a half‑remembered flame.
Every tale of love and longing
Was a whisper from our past—
A reminder that the soul remembers
What the body learns at last.
Pre‑Chorus
I always searched the world for something missing,
Not knowing you were my song—
A presence woven through my spirit,
Living in me all along.
Chorus
Oh, my true love, I wasn’t waiting
For a stranger on the road—
I was waking to the memory
Of a love my soul had always known.
We don’t meet by chance or timing,
We don’t meet by right or wrong—
We just recognize the truth
We’ve been in each other all along.
Verse 2
Every dream I ever wandered,
Every hope I tried to chase,
Was a shadow of your essence
Moving softly through my space.
And the moment that I saw you,
It was less like something new—
More a quiet, holy knowing:
“I’ve been walking toward you too.”
Pre‑Chorus
It wasn’t fate that brought us forward,
It was remembrance growing strong—
Two halves of one old story
Finding where they both belong.
Chorus
Oh, my true love, I wasn’t waiting
For a stranger on the road—
I was waking to the memory
Of a love my soul had always known.
We don’t meet by chance or timing,
We don’t meet by right or wrong—
We just recognize the truth
We’ve been here all along.
Bridge
And if the world should pull us distant,
If the night feels wide and long,
I’ll still feel you in my heartbeat—
You’ve been my echo all along.
For the meeting isn’t moment,
It’s the unveiling of the soul—
Two flames remembering their origin,
Two halves returning to the whole.
Final Chorus
Oh, baby, I wasn’t waiting
For a stranger on the road—
I was waking to the memory
Of a love my soul had always known.
We don’t meet by chance or timing,
We don’t meet by right or wrong—
We just recognize the truth
We’ve been in each other all along.
