Every Single Day

It started with a ding, a scream, a name
A single spark that lit the flame
A nervous date, a borrowed coat
A kiss so soft it caught my throat

First walks, first fights, first lazy days
Do you snore? Do you cook? Do you like ballet
Laughter in bed and matching socks
Two hearts clicking like tumblers on locks

We found an apartment and painted the walls
We learned how to budget and argue and fool
He met my parents, I met his fears
We grew something real across ten golden years

Love like lightning, slow and sure
Crashing hearts, then finding the cure
Through every season, high and low
We chose each other, we let it show

We danced through my canoes, kissed under stars
Laughed until morning in broken down cars
He held my hand in the coldest of fights
And I held his when we turned out the lights

We held on, we leaned in, we broke down, we built again
We shared towels, dreams, and kitchen floors
And said I love you a thousand more
He's gone now, but I am not alone

Our story is etched in every stone
He gave me a life, a light, a song
And that song plays on
It plays on

With a story that danced the flame that stayed
The everyday magic that never fades
From swipes to vows, from spring to frost
We lived it all, no moment lost

So here's to the love, the laughs, the tears
To the glorious gift of those ten years
He changed my world and led my way
And I'd love him again

Every single day
