With love for you, I left the person I once knew,
I walked beyond myself and became someone new.

Through every winding road your memory led me,
I lost the self I was, and found another me.

I wandered through your streets, released from who I'd been,
A shadow chasing you until the dawn came in.

Each moment without you, I burned but never cried,
A thousand times I turned to ash beneath your eyes.

I told my heart, “One day, I'll leave this love behind,”
But every time I tried, I loved you more in kind.

O love, if loving you should be my greatest sin,
Then let me drown in it, with all my soul within.

I gave away my silence, my dreams, my pride, my name,
And everything I was was swallowed by your flame.

I tried to run from you, but every road I chose
Would lead me back to where your memory still grows.

The stars would ask me at the quiet edge of night,
“Who are you waiting for beneath this fading light?”

I had no words to give them, no answer I could say—
Your name was all I carried till the breaking of the day.

And when the rain came down, I heard you in the sound,
In every falling drop, your lost embrace was found.

I thought that time would heal what distance left undone,
But time only taught my heart to miss you more than once.

Now nothing in this world can make me turn away,
For I have crossed the borders of the self I was someday.

If loving you means losing everything I knew,
Then let me lose myself, if I can lose myself in you.

And should they ask me someday, “Who were you before?”
I'll smile and say, “A stranger standing at love's door.”

“But then I met you—and all I was fell through;
I left myself behind, and found another self in you.”
