THE WOMAN I CHOOSE

I’ve seen a thousand faces,

But yours is the one I know,

Like my heart had been waiting

For you to finally come home.

There’s something in your silence,

Something in the way you smile,

That makes this restless heart of mine

Feel peaceful for a while.

I don’t love you for the moments

When the world is treating you right,

I love you when you’re breaking,

When you’re losing every fight.

When you don’t see what I see,

When you forget how beautiful you are,

I’ll stand beside the mirror

And remind you who you are.

And if someday your hands grow tired,

Put your weight on me.

If the whole world turns against you,

I’ll be where you need me to be.

Because I don’t just want your good days,

I want every scar you hide.

I want the fears you never tell me,

And the tears you keep inside.

I want your laughter in my mornings,

Your hand inside my hand,

And if life gives me forever,

I’ll spend it where you stand.

I choose you when it’s easy,

I choose you when it’s hard.

I choose you in every lifetime,

In every version of my heart.

You’re not just the woman that I love,

You’re the woman I’ll protect—

The one I’ll keep choosing

With every breath I have left.

I admire how you keep going

When nobody knows you’re tired,

How you carry so much love

Even when your own heart’s been hurt.

You don’t have to be perfect,

You don’t have to hide your pain.

Give me every broken piece,

I’ll never love you less again.

And I swear I’ll never take

The little things for granted—

The way you say my name,

The way you reach for my hand.

I’ll memorize your changing seasons,

Every dream and every doubt,

Because loving you isn’t something

I could ever live without.

And when your hair turns silver,

When our faces show the years,

I’ll still look at you like

You’re the reason I’m here.

Because I don’t just want your good days,

I want every scar you hide.

I want the fears you never tell me,

And the tears you keep inside.

I want your laughter in my mornings,

Your hand inside my hand,

And if life gives me forever,

I’ll spend it where you stand.

I choose you when it’s easy,

I choose you when it’s hard.

I choose you in every lifetime,

In every version of my heart.

You’re not just the woman that I love,

You’re the woman I’ll protect—

The one I’ll keep choosing

With every breath I have left.

If I could give you anything,

I wouldn’t give you diamonds.

I’d give you a life where you never

Have to question if you’re loved.

I’d give you my patience,

My honesty, my time.

My shoulder when you’re hurting,

My hand when you’re afraid.

And if heaven ever asks me

What my greatest blessing was,

I’ll say your name without hesitation—

Because you were always enough.

So take my heart completely,

There’s nothing left to hide.

I’ll love you through the darkness,

I’ll love you through the light.

And when this life gets heavy,

Come rest your soul with mine.

I don’t promise you perfection,

But I promise I’ll never stop trying.

I choose you in the silence,

I choose you in the storm.

I choose you every morning

And every night before I’m gone.

You are the woman I prayed for,

The woman I adore,

And if I’m given one more lifetime—

I’ll find you all over again.

So if you ever wonder

What you mean to me…

You’re not just someone I love.

You’re my choice.

My home.

My peace.

My forever. ❤️
