Everything In Between

We were young, just kids with dreams in our eyes

No road map, just heartbeats and endless skies

We stumbled through the dark, hand in hand

Built a home with mismatched pieces and a bigger plan

You held me down when I couldn’t stand tall

I caught your tears every time you’d fall

And even when we didn’t know the way

We loved through the silence, and chose to stay

Now the world sees the chapters we’ve been through

But only we know the words, the realest truth

We grew love like roots in the rain

Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain

You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above

This life we built—it’s more than enough

Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face

A love like ours time could never erase

No fairytale, no movie screen—

Just me and you, and everything in between

Remember those nights, couch cushions as a bed

Whispers of dreams we never even said

Fighting the world with our backs to the wall

But even in pieces, we still had it all

You taught me how to bend but never break

Taught me love ain’t just sweet—it’s what you make

Through every “I’m sorry,” every tear we dried

We raised each other with love as our guide

Now we’re older, but our hearts still young

Every scar just proof of the songs we’ve sung

We grew love like roots in the rain

Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain

You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above

This life we built—it’s more than enough

Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face

A love like ours time could never erase

No fairytale, no movie screen—

Just me and you, and everything in between

They don’t see all the work, the nights we cried

The way we always found each other on the other side

They just see the beauty—never the battles we fought

But I’d choose you every lifetime, no matter the cost

(26 years, still you and me)

(We built this love—brick by memory)

(Through every storm, we found the light)

(My forever, my only, my fire, my wife)

We grew love like roots in the rain

Fought through the struggle, danced through the pain

You’re my reason, my rhythm, my rise above

This life we built—it’s more than enough

Now we smile through the eyes of our grandson’s face

A love like ours time could never erase

No fairytale, no movie screen—

Just me and you… and everything in between
