When first I saw your gentle face, You carved a mark I can’t erase. Even in dreams, you linger there, A memory I still can’t bear. Yet now my heart begins to see, You were not meant to stay with me. You were not the hero of my tale, My book was never yours to sail. I know that love will come my way, Not how I dreamed — but one fine day. And when I’m ready, brave, and true, I’ll face the world and thank you too. For now I see who I can be, No need to hide what’s inside me. So thanks to you, I’ve grown much stronger — I’ll turn the page, and wait no longer. A brand-new chapter now I start, With open hands and braver heart.
