You were always there

We were just two friends in a crowded apartment,

Laughing too loud, never knowing what it started.

Late nights talking on the purple couch,

Swearing it was nothing, we were just hanging out.

Then London lights and a wedding surprise,

One kiss, one moment, everything changed in our eyes.

What was hidden couldn’t stay disguised,

Somewhere between the truth and lies, love arrived.

Couldn’t go back once we crossed that line,

From best friends to something intertwined.

We tried to fight it, tried to pretend,

But some stories don’t know how to end.

You were always there, I just didn’t see,

Right in front of me was everything I’d need.

From coffee shop jokes to forever we share,

It was love all along—you were always there.

Through awkward beginnings and fear of change,

We learned that love can grow in strange ways.

From secrets kept to rings and vows,

We found our forever in the here and now.

You were always there, I just didn’t see…
