Two Roads Ahead

[Verse 1]
You knew the road would split ahead,
I saw it in the way you read
The map folded between our hands,
Two honest lines, two distant lands.
Still, every mile we shared was ours,
A little proof against the hours.

[Pre-Chorus]
If I can’t ask the road to bend,
I can still name what we became.

[Chorus]
Please understand, don’t let it fade
To just a place we passed one day.
Our paths divide; the bond stays true—
I carry what I learned from you.
We had our time; it mattered then,
And it will matter, even when
The distance takes us out of view,
I’m glad the world once brought me you.

[Verse 2]
Your patience changed the pace I kept,
You saw the promise I’d misplaced.
I gave you courage when you froze;
You gave me room to trust my own.
No need to call it meant to last
For every good thing to hold fast.

[Breakdown]
We don’t have to stay
For it to have been real.

[Final Chorus]
Please understand, don’t let it fade
To just a place we passed one day.
Our paths divide; the bond stays true—
I carry what I learned from you.
We had our time; it mattered then,
And it will matter, even when
The distance takes us out of view,
I’m glad the world once brought me you.

[Outro]
Two roads ahead.
What we were stays true.
