Theme: She & I, A Love Unwritten 

I still remember the very first time,

When your eyes met mine like a perfect rhyme.

A quiet hello, a nervous laugh,

Not knowing then—we’d walk this path.

Our first date, where time stood still,

Hands close, yet shy to feel.

A mix of laughter, food, and heat,

Hearts racing to a silent beat.

The first time we gamed till the morning sun,

Your laugh—my favorite one.

Victory or loss, it never did matter,

As long as we were in it together.

Matching shirts, a silly trend,

But I wore it proudly, my love, my friend.

A sign that we were something more,

A love so deep, worth fighting for.

Then came Valentine’s, our special day,

Hearts were full, in love we stayed.

A year, a promise, a journey untold,

Through every season, young or old.

But love is more than just the firsts,

It’s holding on when things feel worse.

Through every fight, through silent nights,

We found our way back to the light.

So here we stand, still hand in hand,

Not just lovers—but the best of friends.

From firsts to forever, my heart is true,

For every "first" will always be you.
