12th

**Verse 1**
Do you still remember when we started,
When you pulled me in, no warning sign?
You kissed me like you already knew me,
Like my heart was always meant to be yours.
I took you in without hesitation,
But of course, you have your own version,😏
Twelve years ago today we touched forever,
Our first kiss carved into memory.

**Verse 2**
I wish I could say it was sugar and spice,
Every moment easy, every dream nice,
But I lost count of the tears in the night,
All the times you broke my heart, then held me tight.
There were mornings I thought would never shine,
Nights I begged the pain to let me sleep,
But even then, through all the breaking,
You were the happiest thing I’d ever keep.

**Chorus**
Twelve years together, yet oceans apart,
Twelve years I gave you my youth, my heart.
You took my soul, you shaped my name,
You’re my blessing dressed as pain.
It wasn’t perfect, never clean,
But I wouldn’t trade what we have been.
You’re the chaos inside my veins,
And the only one who calms the rain.

**Verse 3**
I know we’re not the kind that lasts forever,
I’ve known it longer than I say.
Some loves are meant to teach us something,
Not meant to stay the same.
Still, twelve years is a lifetime,
And no matter what the future holds,
You’re not just someone I once loved,
You’re part of who I am.

**Final Chorus**
Twelve years together, close and distant,
Still choosing each other somehow.
If this love is all we’re given,
I want you to know—
Thank you for the years, the love, the trying.
I love you and will always do beyond the ending.
Let’s count more years together,
Maybe not forever,
But more.
