I choose you

I could’ve turned away, I had the chance

Could’ve buried all we were in silence

But every breath I tried without you

Felt like a lie I couldn't stand

You never asked me to fall

Never begged me to stay

But I saw the storm inside you

And walked straight into the rain

---

I choose you

Not because fate said I must

Not because the bond was strong

But because my heart still breaks

When you're gone too long

I choose you

With eyes wide open and hands not trembling

Not because I need saving—

But because you're the one I’d burn for

If the world tried ending

---

They whispered warnings in the dark

Said loving you would tear me apart

But love that hides isn't love at all

And I won’t be afraid to fall

You held your heart like a weapon

Afraid it could do harm

But I see the man beneath it

And I’m not running from his scars

---

I choose you

Even if the stars conspire

Even if the world burns higher

I’ll stand beside you in the fire

I choose you

Not because I was meant to—but because I want to

And I’d choose you again

In every life, in every end

---

Let them write their stories

Let them speak our names in shame

But I’ll live this truth with you

Even if it brings the flame

---

I choose you

With every broken piece I carry

With every dream they said was folly

I choose the danger in your touch

Because love, when real, is never safe—

It’s just enough

---

So if you ask me again…

Even if the sky turns cruel…

I’ll still say it, loud and true—

I choose you.
