You Held My Heart

You Held My Heart

You held my hand, just for a while

But in that touch, you left a fire

A fleeting grip, a passing flame

Still, nothing ever felt the same

I knew the moment slipped away

Like stars that fade before the day

But though your fingers let me go

You held something you'll never know

It wasn’t time that made it real

It was the way you made me feel

You held my heart, not just my hand

You took it all, though we had no plan

For just one breath, you touched my soul

Now you’re the part that makes me whole

Though your hand has gone away

My heart in yours will always stay

You held my heart...

You still do, even far apart

I hear your voice inside the rain

I trace your smile through every pain

You may have walked a different line

But something in me stayed with time

One moment changed the world I knew

And now my heart still beats for you

Not every love needs endless days

To echo through eternal space

You let go, but I still feel

The truth in what was never sealed

You held my heart, not just my hand

You took it all, though we had no plan

For just one breath, you touched my soul

Now you’re the part that makes me whole

Though your hand has gone away

My heart in yours will always stay

You held my heart...

You still do, even far apart

We were a spark in the dark

But you left a flame in my heart

It’s not how long, it’s what it meant

Your touch became my permanence

You held my heart, not just my hand

Forever lives in where we stand

One second changed my everything

Still hear you in the songs I sing

Though the world has pulled you far

You are still where my heart is scarred

You held my heart...

You still do... you always will...

You held my heart...

And that’s enough for all my life...
