A Song Written For Anita Helen

I was fine in the quiet, or so I believed,

Days drifting softly, nothing up my sleeve.

Then you walked in like a shift in the weather,

Suddenly moments meant more when together.

Every road I walked before

Was just a way to find your door.

Every step was leading me

To where I’m meant to be.

’Cause loving you feels like coming home,

Like a light left on when I’m alone.

In a world that’s loud and pulls me along,

Your heart is where I belong.

Every doubt just fades away,

When you look at me that way.

If I had forever to choose from,

I’d still choose us, I’d still choose you.

You know my fears, you know my flaws,

Still you hold me without pause.

In your laughter, in your tears,

I see my now, I see my years.

Every word you never say

Says more than I’ve heard anyway.

In your eyes I clearly see

The best version of me.

’Cause loving you feels like coming home,

Like a light left on when I’m alone.

In a world that’s loud and pulls me along,

Your heart is where I belong.

Every doubt just fades away,

When you look at me that way.

If I had forever to choose from,

I’d still choose us, I’d still choose you.

If the sky falls, if the nights grow long,

If we lose the words to our favourite song,

I’ll find you there, in the in-between,

In the quiet places love still breathes.

Yeah, loving you feels like coming home,

Every mile worth every road.

No matter how far, no matter how strong,

Your heart is where I belong.

When the world asks who I am,

I’ll just reach out, take your hand.

If I had forever to choose from,

I’d still choose us, I’d still choose you.

So stay right here, don’t let this go,

You’re my always, you’re my hope.

I'll always choose us,

I'll always choose you.
