The Nine-Year Secret

​For nine long years, my heart was yours, though you never knew

I was just a shadow, watching everything you do

When I finally spoke, you said another held your gaze

I couldn't cheer, but stayed right there through all your passing days

​A New Path and Confessions

​Then something shifted, we became the closest kind of friends

And for a moment, my own waiting finally ends

A second love came, a hopeful spark that flickered, then died out

I turned to you, my friend, to tell you all about my doubt

​Chorus: The Sudden Offer

​You were my shoulder, offering strength and helping me move on

But then you whispered, "Why not choose me from now on?"

"It's too late now," I answered, though my voice was soft and low

Love never seems to work the way we want it to, you know

​Bridge: Where Did the Feeling Go?

​That second flame faded, just silence in the air

And I wonder, when we became friends, where did the first love go?

Did it turn to comfort? Or was it just hiding below?

​Lingering Dreams

​Now I'm grown up, but still, your face appears in sleep

In the dream, we're side by side, a promise we could keep

Holding hands, leaning close, just like a perfect scene

​Waking up, I'm seventeen, the girl I used to be

It's just a dream, I tell myself, and this feeling is still mine

It's okay to hold this memory, this love I used to find
