When Love is Chosen (2025)

We don’t look like the movies now,
No slow dances in the rain,
Just tired eyes and honest words
We’re still learning how to say.
The spark is quieter than before,
But it’s warmer in the dark,
Like a fire we protect with care
Instead of letting it burn us apart.


Every scar we didn’t run from
Is a reason why we’re still here.


This is love when it’s a choice,
When we stay and raise our voice,
Not to win, but to be heard,
Not to leave, but to return.
When the easy days are gone,
And the nights feel twice as long,
This is love - not just the feeling,
But the promise we keep choosing.


I’ve seen you at your weakest points,
You’ve seen mine too, I know,
Still we meet in the middle ground
Where we both decide to grow.
No guarantees, no perfect lines,
Just truth laid on the table,
And every time we almost break,
We prove again we’re able.


We don’t need to be unbreakable,
Just willing to begin again.


This is love when it’s a choice,
When we stay and raise our voice,
Not to win, but to be heard,
Not to leave, but to return.
When the easy days are gone,
And the nights feel twice as long,
This is love - not just the feeling,
But the promise we keep choosing.


If one day we forget the spark,
Let this be what we remember:
Love is showing up in pieces,
Love is staying through the weather.


This is love in flesh and bone,
Not the dream, but making home.
When the world pulls at our seams,
We still fight for what we mean.
If the road is hard and true,
I’ll keep choosing me and you.
This is love - it’s not the start,
It’s every day we don’t fall apart.
