"Two Weeks and an Eternity" Lyrics by Veronica Broyles (adapted) [Verse 1] I thought you saw me, deeper than most do, You smiled without question, and I trusted you. For two golden weeks, I lived in your light, Loved as the woman I am—not the one shaped by fright. [Verse 2] Your joy felt so real, your words were a song, I thought I'd found somewhere I truly belonged. I would have given you forever, no fear, But the words "we need to talk" made it all disappear. [Chorus] Two weeks and an eternity, You held my heart so tenderly. I believed you'd never let go— But belief, it seems, can fool us so. Still I thank you for the glimpse you gave, Of a love I’ll always crave. [Verse 3] Others have left me, that’s nothing new, But none had embraced me the way you seemed to. You knew who I was—or I thought that you did, And when you turned away, it cut deeper than it ever did. [Bridge] It wasn’t a mask, it wasn’t a game, The woman I showed you is real, she has a name. And now I live bolder, I speak with more grace— You gave me a dream I still long to chase. [Chorus – Repeat] Two weeks and an eternity, You loved the soul inside of me. I believed in us—perhaps too soon, But you gave me the sun, not just the moon. And I thank you for the glimpse you gave, Of the life I still hope to create. [Outro] Now I know love can truly be mine, Not just in dreams or borrowed time. So if love returns, I’ll be ready and true— But I’ll always remember... The brief love I shared with you.
