I Believe (original version)
I have always believed
Everyone finds their person eventually
How could I not believe that?
Everyone around me
Everyone in movies and tv
Even in the books I read
They’ve all found their person
Everyone but me
–
–
I have always believed
Everyone finds their person
But I’ve been alive long enough
Watching my friends find their person
While I reach for a hand that is not there
I look for them in the crowd
Only to never find their gaze
And remember
I still have not found them

I had always believed
Everyone finds their person.
I feel I will find mine
I know I will
I have seen our life together
Gentle, wonderful, and miraculous
Each day I wait for you to cross my path
My longing grows stronger
But I know one day
My life will become my dreams
