1st

Verse 1
Back in 2008, when we were young,
Freshman days, our story had begun.
F.E.U was where our paths first crossed,
Never knowing what we almost lost.

Second semester, there you were,
A simple classmate, nothing more.
Then came a dance, you by my side,
And I couldn't keep my feelings inside.

I told you that I had a crush on you,
Not knowing what those words would do.
Dinner at your place, just you and me,
Talking for hours, so naturally.

Pre-Chorus
But life had other plans for us,
Sometimes love has to wait for trust.
You left that school, we went our ways,
But somehow you stayed in my days.

Chorus
Zairah, if I could go back in time,
I'd find you there and make you mine.
From that first dance, from that first hello,
I never knew how far we'd go.
Through every year, through every mile,
You were still the reason for my smile.
And after all that life put us through,
Somehow it always led me back to you.

Verse 2
Sophomore year, you went away,
A different school, a different place.
But every Christmas, every birthday,
We'd still find a little time to say,

"Hope you're doing good, hope you're okay,"
Little messages that never went away.
Years went by, but somewhere inside,
A little piece of us survived.

Then Christmas came in 2014,
You saw the sadness I had shared online.
You reached out when my heart was broken,
And somehow those old doors opened.

We started talking, then something changed,
The years between us disappeared.
Early 2015, it became us,
And suddenly the future felt so clear.

Chorus
Zairah, if I could go back in time,
I'd find you there and make you mine.
From that first dance, from that first hello,
I never knew how far we'd go.
Through every year, through every mile,
You were still the reason for my smile.
And after all that life put us through,
Somehow it always led me back to you.

Verse 3
2019, I took your hand,
And promised you forever, as we planned.
From two young hearts who didn't know
How beautiful our lives could grow.

Then 2024, we left our home,
Chasing dreams in a world unknown.
A brand-new country, a brand-new start,
But all I needed was your heart.

There were dreams we had to chase,
There were days that weren't so easy.
But every time I looked at you,
I knew exactly why we made it through.

Bridge
Maybe we were never meant to rush,
Maybe we needed all those years.
Maybe every goodbye and every distance
Was leading us right here.

From a classroom in Manila,
To a life across the sea,
From a dance back in 2008,
To forever—you and me.

Final Chorus
Zairah, you're the love I waited for,
The one my heart was searching for.
From F.E.U halls to this life we share,
You were my answer everywhere.

And if the years should turn us gray,
I'll still remember that first day.
The girl I met, the girl I knew,
The woman I married—my dream came true.

Outro
So here's to 2008,
To every year we had to wait.
To Christmas wishes, to 2015,
To the love we found in between.

To 2019, when you became my wife,
To 2024, our brand-new life.
And wherever this journey takes us to,
I'll always choose you, Zairah.

From that first dance…
to forever with you. ❤️
