A trembling heart speaks softly of a love that stayed,
Through every lonely night, through every promise made.
Though silent were my lips, my eyes could still confess,
The hidden words of love, the weight of tenderness.

I gave my heart to love, I gave it without fear,
And even through the pain, I kept your memory near.
When darkness filled the world and all the stars grew dim,
I held a little light that still reminded me of him.

You may be far from me, yet never far from here,
For every road I walk still brings your memory near.
I searched for you through streets beneath the midnight sky,
And found your shadow waiting where my dreams would pass me by.

The years have come and gone, and time has changed us both,
Yet love can outlive seasons, distance, silence, growth.
The world has taken much, and left me scarred and worn,
But some loves never die, no matter how forlorn.

If someday you could sit beside me through the night,
And look into my eyes beneath the fading light,
You'd see the tears I hid behind a thousand smiles,
And know I carried you across a thousand miles.

I never asked the stars to bring you back to me,
I only asked my heart to keep what used to be.
For forgetting you was never something I could learn,
Some flames are meant to live, and never cease to burn.

If someone asks me why I waited all these years,
I'll tell them love is patience, even through the tears.
A faithful heart may break, but still it keeps its vow,
For what it truly loved, it cannot abandon now.

And if the road between us never disappears,
I'll still remember you beyond the passing years.
For every night must end, however dark the sky,
And somewhere after sorrow, a dawn will rise.

Perhaps one day the distance will surrender to our hands,
Perhaps we'll meet again where destiny once planned.
But even if your footsteps never return to me,
Your name will live forever in the verses that I breathe.

My trembling heart will never turn away from love,
While even one small breath remains beneath the stars above.
The world may take my dreams, my youth, my yesterday—
But what I gave you truly, time can never take away.

A trembling heart speaks softly, faithful to the end:
Some loves are not forgotten, some souls can never bend.
And if I have but one thing left beneath the sky,
It is this heart that loved you—and will love you till I die.
