You came along like morning light
Soft and warm, not too bright
We shared some space, we danced in time
But I never crossed that line
I gave enough to feel the day
But not enough to lose my way
Still myself, through it all
Even when I rise, even when I fall
You were nice, maybe kind
But I keep my heart aligned
Not out of fear, or being cold
Just a quiet way of staying whole
Still myself, and that’s enough for me
I listened close, I leaned just right
But held my shape in soft twilight
Some things bloom, and then they leave
But I remain, and I believe
I don’t regret what didn’t stay
I don’t rewrite the yesterdays
There’s beauty in a love that’s brief
Like autumn wind in golden leaves
Still myself, through it all
Even when I rise, even when I fall
You were near, never mine
And I liked it just that time
I keep my voice, I keep my peace
And love myself in every piece
Still myself, and that’s enough for me
