**🎵 VERSE 1 — High School Love (History Class)
Met you back in history class, girl, you was sunlight in a cold room
Melanie with the big smile, hair tied, perfume like a gold bloom
I was just Marquis, scribblin’ dreams in a notebook
You passed me a note sayin’, “Boy, you got a good look.” (yeah…)
Lunch table laughs, walkin’ home slow
You held my hoodie sleeve when you ain’t wanna go (don’t go…)
We was young but the love felt grown
Two teenagers makin’ big feelings outta small moments alone
But time hit hard — arguments got loud
We broke apart, tryna figure life out
Said goodbye, but the truth we found:
Some love don’t end — it just loops back around
⸻
🎵 PRE-CHORUS
We were too young to know
How deep first love could grow
Didn’t see the seeds below
Till destiny said, “Let’s run it back, though…”
⸻
🎵 CHORUS
’Cause forever came back when I found you again
Six years later, still feel you under my skin
All the pain, all the loss, all the lessons within
Turned heartbreak to healing — turned strangers to friends
Yeah, forever came back, girl, we rose from the fall
We been broken, been tested, been through it all
But love still stood when the world felt small
Melanie & Marquis — we answered the call (answered the call…)
⸻
**🎵 VERSE 2 — Reunion + Miscarriage
Saw you again after years on the run
Different city, same glow, same love undone
Said you missed me — girl, I swear I felt the Earth stop
Pulled you close, heartbeat hittin’ like a drop-top (come here…)
We tried again, but life hit us too raw
Miscarriage pain had us breakin’ every law
Cryin’ in the bed with your head on my chest
Feelin’ anger toward heaven but hope in the rest
Said, “Baby, don’t leave — we’ll rebuild this slow.”
You whispered, “Marquis, I ain’t lettin’ you go.”
Love ain’t perfect, but it taught us to grow
Turned ashes to soil — let the healing flow
⸻
🎵 PRE-CHORUS (repeat)
We were too young to know
How deep first love could grow
Didn’t see the seeds below
Till destiny said, “Let’s run it back, though…”
⸻
🎵 CHORUS (repeat)
’Cause forever came back when I found you again
Six years later, still feel you under my skin
All the pain, all the loss, all the lessons within
Turned heartbreak to healing — turned strangers to friends
Yeah, forever came back, girl, we rose from the fall
We been broken, been tested, been through it all
But love still stood when the world felt small
Melanie & Marquis — we answered the call

**🎵 VERSE 3 — Marriage + Kids + Real Love
May 21st, 2016 — the day we said “forever”
Two rings, one vow, hearts locked together
Told you at the altar, “Girl, I’m yours forever,”
You cried, said, “Marquis, we gon’ make life better.”
Now four kids later and the nights still wild
You a queen, I’m a king, and each one is our child
We still argue sometimes, but the love stay styled
’Cause you my teenage crush turned lifelong smile
You held me down when my world got cold
I held you close when your heart lost hold
We got stories that ain’t never been tol
