Starting to See

[Verse 1]
Seventeen years of us, building dreams side by side
Two more in marriage, feeling our hearts collide
Together we crafted a world of our own, so true
But sometimes in silence, I lost sight of the view

[Pre-Chorus]
She told me, "Look around, see what we've made"
Yet shadows grew long, and colors started to fade
Maybe I was blind, maybe I couldn't see
The life I was given, the love that set me free

[Chorus]
19 years of love, a story in the making
Built a life so beautiful, no mistaking
Now I stand here and wonder, was it all for me?
Or did I miss the beauty in what we used to be?

[Bridge]
Hold on to these moments, they've made us who we are
Through the storms and the silence, we've come so far
Her smile, her touch, like a whisper in the night
A love that once shined, now fading from sight

[Outro]
17 years and more, memories that stay
Two years married, love that found its way
Maybe I was starting to see, starting to believe
That our beautiful life was more than I perceived
