A far off station opened like a second sky
The streets were taller than the stories in my room
Glass and steel were catching weather in their skin
And every corner moved like something waking up
I stepped into a grassline full of unknown shapes
No old names waiting softly in the back of my mind
Only the rush of meeting life for the very first time
And letting my fear learn how to breathe beside me
A signal in my hand glowed blue against the dusk
Thin little lights said I was not alone
The road ahead kept changing with the wind
And I could feel my world making room for more
Everything here looked like a first time
Bright as a bridge flung out into the air
I crossed with questions ringing in the silence
Still I moved like I belonged somewhere
Same road different season different color
Same heart learning what it wants to keep
I was not handed one clean answer
I chose the bonds that chose to walk with me
The city after sunset wore a carnival glow
Neon and ferris lights beneath a restless dark
Harbor wind and runway lights pulled at my chest
Like every leaving place was also where things start
Somewhere along the noise a shadow left a thought
Not sharp enough to name and not small enough to lose
What if winning and being right are not the same
What if truth arrives in things we have to choose
The avenues turned gold then bare then white
And every change rewrote the way I knew them
I watched familiar paths become new again
As if the season understood me before I did
Everything here looked like a first time
Bright as a bridge flung out into the air
I crossed with questions ringing in the silence
Still I moved like I belonged somewhere
Same road different season different color
Same heart learning what it wants to keep
I was not handed one clean answer
I chose the bonds that chose to walk with me
There were nights the sky felt split in quiet halves
Light and shadow pulling at the same horizon
But I do not need the world to settle cleanly
To know which hand I reach for when I move
The towers shook with something larger than my name
And when the noise was gone the air stayed clear
Not empty
Clear
Enough to hear my own step answer back
Everything here still feels like a first time
Even now the distance hums alive in me
I crossed that bridge and did not come back smaller
I came back carrying what I could not see
Same road different season different color
Same heart steadier inside the doubt
I was not given what to call the future
I chose it softly and I carry it now
Everything here looked like a first time
Wide as the sky above the moving rails
And in the glow of all those living windows
I found a truth that did not need to yell
The wind changed
I stayed
The lights changed
I stayed
And somewhere past the bridge
I became the one who chose the way
