Still Fifteen

Verse 1 We were fifteen in a hallway blur, You with galaxies in your eyes, Me with anime in my backpack, Dreaming louder than we were wise. We married young with reckless faith, Before we knew what life could do, Just two kids saying, “Heck yes— It’s always you.” Pre-Chorus They said we’d drift, we’d outgrow the spark. We grew roots instead of scars. Chorus Twenty years and I still choose you, Hot nerd with your starship crew. You beam me up when I fall apart, Captain steady of my heart. Through babies, bills, and late-night fights, Through snack-hoards and playful bites, After everything we’ve been through— I’m still fifteen When I look at you. Verse 2 You quote Star Trek like gospel truth, And let me ramble fandom lore. You’re brilliant, sharp, responsible— Even when you misplace the door. You love me when I can’t love myself, When my tides run high then low. You’re even-keel, horizon-line, The calm I always know. You get most of my jokes just fine, I catch half of yours and grin. Your eyebrows lift like cat ears— And I fall all over again. Bridge You’re only into one person—me. Not your whole world, just part. Not ownership, not gravity— Just choosing me by heart. And every time that sharp smile hits, Like you’re hiding something fun, I see the boy from fifteen Who already knew I was the one. Final Chorus Twenty years and I still love you, Like lockers slammed and skies brand new. Through chaos, kids, and growing up, Through every version we grew into. You held me when I lost my flame, You stayed when storms came crashing through. And after all this life together— I’m still fifteen When I look at you.
