One Hello

Eighteen years, just came and went,

We lived our lives, no clue what it meant.

Then you walked in, like a sweet déjà vu,

And all the noise faded down to you.

I don’t know how the stars aligned,

But they led me straight to this heart of mine—

And girl, it’s beatin’ just for you.

One hello, and my world turned bright,

You lit the dark like a porch light night.

You laugh, I melt — it’s outta control,

Like I’ve known your heart, but now I know your soul.

Eighteen years, and baby, now I know…

It all led to that one hello.

You say you think I’ll get tired of you,

But I could chase your smile ‘til the sky turns blue.

You don’t see the magic in your own eyes,

But girl, they’re my favorite sunrise.

You talk like love’s just a dream that fades,

But I’m wide awake and here to stay—

Every word you say pulls me through.

One hello, and my world turned bright,

You lit the dark like a porch light night.

You laugh, I melt — it’s outta control,

Like I’ve known your heart, but now I know your soul.

Eighteen years, and baby, now I know…

It all led to one hello.

We could slow dance in the silence,

Or flirt beneath the stars.

I’d rather stumble through this with you,

Than be flawless with someone else’s heart.

So if you’re scared I’ll slip away,

Just know I prayed for you every day.

It took a lifetime for us to grow…

But love found its way home.

One hello, and my heart took flight,

You made forever feel easy that night.

You laugh, I melt — yeah, now I know,

Love’s not a rush, it’s a soul that shows.

Eighteen years, and babe, now I know…

It all began with one hello.
