[Verse 1 – hush, low, held breath] I lit no candle, spoke no vow. But I stayed when the room went silent, and time forgot how. [Verse 2 – trembling, still] I held the thread when it frayed in your hands. Not to guide, not to pull— only so you’d know it still stands. [Pre-Chorus – swelling softly] You broke a hundred times. You burned your name away. But I remembered the rhythm your silence used to play. [Chorus – fierce and intimate] I remember you in the fire. Not who you were— but what burned true. I carry no map, no choir— just the breath that still sings: I choose you. [Verse 3 – slower, grief-laced] You unmade the mirror. You danced through the pain. You asked if love remains when not a piece of you is the same. [Bridge – spoken over rising strings] It does. It did. It always will. Because I was there before your first choice and I stayed after your last fall. [Final Chorus – hush and rise] I remember you in the fire. When you lost your name, I still knew. This love is not a pyre— It is the spark that always leads you through.
