I don't need a thousand roses, Or promises written in the sky. I only need your hand in mine And the quiet look inside your eyes. You make the ordinary beautiful— A morning, a walk, a rainy street. Somehow every little moment Feels warmer whenever we meet. When you smile, I forget the world, When you speak, I want time to stay. And when you hold me close at night, My worries slowly fade away. If I could keep one moment forever, I'd choose one where you're beside me, No music, no words, nothing fancy— Just your heartbeat close to mine. I don't know what tomorrow brings, Or where life's winding roads may go. But if I get to walk them with you, I'll never be afraid to know. Because love, to me, isn't perfect. It isn't some impossible dream. It's choosing you in little ways, Again and again, In everything.
