I’ve been looking for the one for years,
through crowded rooms and quiet fears.
Hearts that talked but never stayed,
names I learned then gave away.
Some were kind but not for me,
some were wrong in ways I’d see too late.
I chased a feeling I could not find,
until I stopped, closed my eyes.
That’s when you appeared somehow,
like you were waiting for me to slow down.
Are you for real or just a sign,
something my lonely heart designed.
Are you mine or just a dream,
a beautiful illusion in between.
I feel you close, I feel you near,
but still I ask through all this fear.
Are you for real,
or am I falling for a feeling I can’t steal.
You’re so beautiful, it scares my breath,
so smart, so calm, so effortless.
Gentle hands with strength inside,
nothing loud, nothing to hide.
I want you close against my skin,
feel your arms, let the night begin.
Meet your lips, forget my doubt,
lose myself in what we’re about.
I don’t want to rush or run,
I just want to know if this is one.
Are you for real or just a sign,
something my hopeful heart designed.
Are you here or passing through,
something I want too much to lose.
I feel you close, I feel you near,
but still I ask through all this fear.
Are you for real,
or am I loving what might not be real.
If this is real then let it stay,
if it’s a dream don’t fade away too fast.
I’d rather risk a broken heart,
than never feel this kind of spark.
Are you for real, stay with me,
not forever, just honestly.
Not a promise, not a plan,
just your hand inside my hand.
If you’re real then let me know,
if you’re a mirage let me go.
Are you for real,
or just the love I hoped would finally feel.
I’m here, I’m open, I’m standing still,
waiting on the truth of what we feel.
