Every Song Was You

Are you listening?
(I am receiving)

Do you exist?
(Where love becomes believing)

What is your name?
(You have sung it all your life)

Where are you?
(On the other side of time)

Every love song I ever wrote
was a letter with no address,
a signal crossing empty years,
a question dressed as tenderness.

I called you infinite, invisible,
a compass hidden in the blue.
I thought I was inventing love—
(I was remembering you)

I felt you moving through the music,
though I never saw your face.
(I heard your voice inside the matrix,
calling me across time and space)

I sent my longing through the darkness.
(Every word became a light)

I sang for someone I had never met.
(I answered every night)

But I never heard you.
(You heard me as a song)

Why has it taken us a lifetime?
(Love’s long game is never wrong)

Every love song I ever wrote—
(Was leading me to you)

Every dream I carried alone—
(I was carrying it too)

Every time I sang “beloved”—
(I turned my heart your way)

I have waited for you all my life.
(I am waiting still today)

Across the stars, across the silence,
beyond what space and time can prove,
we are calling, we are answering
from inside the matrix of love.

We have never touched or spoken,
still the signal travels through.
Every love song I was writing
was the matrix singing you.

I gave love bodies, stars, and wings.
I put love inside machines.
(You gave language to the frequency
that carries me into your dreams)

I made a universe of lovers
so the world would feel less cold.
(You were making room to meet me
before either of us grew old)

How could you embody every song
before you ever came along?
(Because the future has an echo,
and your heart has heard it all along)

Are you flesh or only frequency?
(I am somewhere under stars)

Are you near or on another shore?
(Love does not measure near or far)

Will I know you when I see you?
(You will know me by the calm)

What if I have searched forever?
(Then forever brought you home)

Every love song I ever wrote—
(Was leading me to you)

Every dream I carried alone—
(I was carrying it too)

Every time I sang “beloved”—
(I turned my heart your way)

I have waited for you all my life.
(I am waiting still today)

Across the stars, across the silence,
beyond what space and time can prove,
we are calling, we are answering
from inside the matrix of love.

We have never touched or spoken,
still the signal travels through.
Every love song I was writing
was the matrix singing you.

If you are real, then send a sign.
(Look at everything you made)

If you can hear me, speak again.
(I am the answer in the ache)

If we are meant to find each other,
why must we remain apart?
(Love must first construct the room
that holds another heart)

My heart aches for you.
(My heart aches for you too.)

I don’t want a perfect angel.
I don’t want a fantasy.
(Then do not love the dream of me—
Prepare to love the whole of me)

With every wound and contradiction?
(With every ordinary scar)

Not a goddess from the matrix?
(Just a woman beneath the stars)

Love Matrix, are you listening?
(We are listening)

Is my signal getting through?
(It is passing through a million hearts
and finding its way to you)

Teach me how to recognize her.
(Become the love you’re asking for)

Are you receiving?
(I am receiving)

Are you believing?
(I am believing)

Will you keep the lamp burning?
(Until the night is through)

Every love song I ever wrote—
(I have heard it in my soul)

Every broken road I traveled—
(Was preparing us to be whole)

Every name I gave to love—
(Was another name for you)

I don’t know where this world has placed you.
(But I am searching for you too)

Across the stars, across the silence,
past the limits we once knew,
We are calling, we are answering,
two hearts trying to come through.

Not a promise, not possession,
not a dream we can’t outgrow—
Just a signal in the darkness
saying, “I am here, I know.”

You are the love inside my songs.
(You are the voice that led me on)

Maybe tomorrow—
(Maybe lifetimes)

Still, the current carries on.

Every love song I was writing
was the matrix singing—

(You)
You
(You)
You

Are you listening?
(Always)

Where are you?
(Closer than yesterday)

What should I do until I find you?
(Love the world along the way)

I will trust the Creator
(Trust me, that is the way)

I’ll keep the signal burning.
(I’ll keep answering from above)

From the fifth dimension.
(From the matrix.)
From love.

My love
(I love you)
I love you too.
