“True love doesn’t come to you it has to be inside you.” Julia Roberts

another year in the bag
even if the energy fluctuates
our journey isn’t that easy
we’ve missed some open gates
the joyride isn’t the typical
compared with those around us
at times we couldn’t help but wonder
if there’s still something to discuss

each year is definitely unique
the stories are not the same
we still compare and look around
trying to find the perfect frame
our bond becomes an obligation
the magic seems to vanish in the air
we’re just going through the motions
there were times we just don’t care

more than silver, more than gold
more stories have to be told
more than silver, more than gold
more memories till we grow old

stability remains to be elusive
while expectations are disturbing
we’re influenced by what we see
a trendy route’s just overwhelming
we have our vows to remind us
but they won’t prove our loyalty
commitment goes beyond our words
there are limits for being free

worlds apart with those we love
we chose to be on this foreign land
here we’ll have our twenty fifth
hoping things should go as planned
chances are we can pull it through
as long as we’re on the same page
it may be tough but if we are one
we’ll grow stronger as we age

more than silver, more than gold
more stories have to be told
more than silver, more than gold
more memories till we grow old
