Against the Odds

For every no that grew our truth.

We met where worlds were not the same,
Two hearts that sparked, then lit a flame.
The rules were loud, the lines were drawn,
But love kept whispering, "hold on."

Through endless talks and tear-filled nights,
Through heavy words and stubborn fights,
We learned that love is not just sweet —
It's standing tall when hearts still beat.

They said we couldn't, shouldn't try,
That dreams like ours just fade and die.
But hand in hand, through loss and fear,
We built the road that led us here.

Today we stand, both bruised and whole,
Two different roots, one single soul.
The storm has passed, the skies are wide —
You're not just love — you're home, my pride.

So here's to all we had to prove,
To every "no" that grew our truth.
The hardest fights, the longest pain —
Were just the steps that brought this rain.

And as we start this life anew,
My every win begins with you.
For love like ours, through storm and strain,
Will bloom, will rise — and stand again.
