Met you on a lunch break, work boots on
Scrolling through a live to pass time on
Didn’t know a random mid-day stream
Would turn into something I’d believe
You had a ring but tired eyes
I had love built on quiet lies
We were laughing, taking shots
Two strangers killing fifteen clocks
Started as jokes, nothing deep
Just easy talk we didn’t keep
But every day I’d tune back in
Not for the live but for your grin
We said, “Relax, it’s just online,”
Just killing time between the lines
But truth started slipping through
And somehow it all led back to you
You held my world when it fell to pieces
When I had nothing but broken reasons
When I had nowhere left to stand
You gave me hope with just your hand
My love for you is forever and a day
Not just words that fade away
You were my strength when I was lost
Now it’s my turn, whatever the cost
There were nights I had no home
Just cold streets and a dying phone
You stayed awake till morning came
Told me I was more than my pain
You started seeing what you’d ignored
A love that felt more like a war
Paper signed and courage shown
You chose a peace you’d never known
Two hundred and fifty miles I drove
Not chasing comfort — chasing growth
To stand beside you face to face
And put protection in my place
You carry worlds they’ll never see
Trying to be everything you need to be
Strong for them, strong all day
But even strong hearts break that way
You held my world when it fell to pieces
When I had nothing but broken reasons
When I had nowhere left to stand
You gave me hope with just your hand
My love for you is forever and a day
Not just words that fade away
You were my strength when I was lost
Now it’s my turn, whatever the cost
I see the pressure in your face
Still giving love, still holding grace
Fighting storms but standing tall
Never letting the kids see you fall
When the noise gets loud and unfair
And you feel like no one’s there
Lean on me like I leaned on you
Let me carry what you’re going through
I didn’t move for maybe or might
I moved because I knew you’re right
And I can’t wait for the life we start
No distance left between our hearts
We started off as a mid-day stream
Now you’re the centre of every dream
Brick by brick we’ve made our way
My love for you is forever and a day
Through every storm we’ve pushed through
Through every mile that led to you
You carried me when I was through
Now I carry us — I carry you
