Never thought it would be you
But it was you who made my heart believe
Those feelings were never meant to be put on display
These emotions not intended to be visible on my sleeve
Never thought it would be you
Was never supposed to have been so captivated
Defensive and cautiously keeping my distance
Everything stayed inside, unspoken and never stated
Never thought it would be you
Whose deepest thoughts would have had me so intrigued
This lonely woman gradually captured my interest
Her every word, softly uttered, landed and was always received
Never thought it would be you
Whose heart I would inadvertently steal
Just call me a thief without intent or desire
Trying to deny everything that the heart would feel
But sometimes the words didn't make sense
Misinterpretations and confusion would soon run amuck
Didn't say it right, perhaps might have heard it wrong
As if in concrete left to harden, never meant to end up getting stuck
The storms that we needlessly threw into the sky
Brought waters and downpours in which we could have drowned
Even our piercing words sometimes cut deeply
Whether spoken out loud or never even making a sound
Never thought it would be you
But miraculously, the clouds dissipated
The rain disappeared, out came the sun
Before we knew it, a new beginning had been created
Never thought it would be you
Whose anger and rage would soon be chilled
Heartbreak and silence would gradually fade
The emptiness of your heart would soon be refilled
Would the sentiment be returned to you
You allowed that doubt to invade and settle in your head
Even if your timing was matched and the words were returned
Might you question if the heart processed what you said
Should not have doubted what you held within
Your hesitation finally gave way to full disclosure
That seed was planted, new thoughts gradually sprouted
But then without warning, everything was suddenly over
The goodbye that soon followed
Brought a distance that felt like forever
Made me believe that the window was shut permanently
Melted and destroyed, any chance we had of being together
But another opportunity presented itself
The timing and circumstances now had to be true
Then before you had even realized what was happening
Into the universe were spoken, the words, "I love you"
Love is a powerful thing
Though sometimes it loses its power when it remains hidden
Had questioned whether those feelings truly existed inside
Before I realized it, somehow we both had made that decision
The feelings had been there for a while
Just took something nearly catastrophic for them to surface
Was not going to miss this second chance
This time everything occurred with a purpose
Never thought it would be you
With no departure or exit every being the end
Space and goodbyes were just bumps in the road
Never ever completely broken, just enough to feel the bend
Perfection in this world doesn't exist
But maybe what we've built is pretty close
Through darkness, yearning for light
Good things come to those who want them most
Though the pain had lingered briefly
Stayed the course and came back stronger
Circled back to reclaim that happiness
Couldn't be without you any longer
Just when things looked dark and bleak
And things between us appeared like they're dying
Something brought us right back to each other
With minimal effort, without really even trying
The ups and downs are ever present
But in the end, you will always be there
This heart needs you and only you
Don't know how much more I can show you that I care
Was this supposed to happen all along
Maybe certain things first needed to come into view
Wouldn't change a thing, though the thought still remains
Never thought it would be you
