Heartbeat After All

Heartbeat After All

We’ve been through fire, through pouring rain,
Tried to hold each other through the pain.
There were nights we barely spoke,
Words too heavy, hearts too broke.
But even when the silence stayed,
Your eyes still begged me not to fade.

And here we are—
Still standing through the fall.
With every crack, we find the spark,
Still answering love’s call.
You could’ve walked, but you still stayed,
And I could’ve closed the door that day—
But love, through rise and fade and fall…
You’re my heartbeat after all.

We’ve both said things we didn’t mean,
Shattered dreams and in-betweens.
But every fight just carved the space
Where forgiveness found its grace.
And now I hold you like I know
Even broken things can grow.

And here we are—
Still learning how to stand.
Still reaching out with trembling hands,
Still writing in the sand.
I tried to run, I tried to hide,
But you pulled me back with patient light—
And now I see it through it all…
You’re my heartbeat after all.

Love isn’t perfect, but it's true
When it’s fought for like we do.
And every scar’s a memory
That says, “You stayed with me.”

So here we are—
Not flawless, but we're strong.
We built this love from ash and dust,
And it’s been home all along.
No fairy tale, no perfect rhyme,
But I’d choose you every time…
'Cause through every rise and every fall—
You’re my heartbeat… after all.
