Reflection

[Verse 1]
I was walking through the silence,
Carrying shadows not my own.
Looking for a hand to hold me,
But I had to stand alone.
Then you came without a rescue,
No armor, no parade—
Just a mirror in your presence,
And the truth I was afraid.
[Chorus]
You didn’t save me, you saw me.
You didn’t fix me, you stayed.
You held the light so I could find
The part of me I’d betrayed.
Love isn’t chains or shelter,
It’s the echo of a star—
A true spiritual partner
Reminds you who you are.
[Verse 2]
You never asked for ownership,
Never tried to make me change.
You just stood there in your stillness,
Letting grace rearrange.
I learned to speak with honesty,
To fall without regret—
You taught me how to love myself
In ways I won’t forget.
[Chorus]
You didn’t save me, you saw me.
You didn’t fix me, you stayed.
You held the light so I could find
The part of me I’d betrayed.
Love isn’t chains or shelter,
It’s the echo of a star—
A true spiritual partner
Reminds you who you are.
[Bridge]
And when the world grew quiet,
And the veil began to thin,
I felt your soul beside me
Like a whisper on the wind.
You’re not gone—you’re deeper now,
In every breath I take.
Your love was never mine to keep,
It was mine to wake.
[Final Chorus]
You didn’t save me, you saw me.
You didn’t fix me, you stayed.
You held the light so I could find
The part of me I’d betrayed.
Love isn’t chains or shelter,
It’s the echo of a star—
A true spiritual partner
Reminds you who you are.
