[Verse 1] We started as best friends, with nothing to prove Just laughter in the quiet, and dreams we both pursued Three long years of friendship, you never walked away Even when I couldn't find the words I needed to say [Pre-Chorus] Life wasn't always perfect, we stumbled, we fell There were nights we barely had a story left to tell But every sunrise, you still chose to stay You loved me through the storms that came our way [Chorus] Hakim, you're the answer to prayers I couldn't speak The strength that holds me steady whenever I'm weak If forever has a meaning, I found it in your eyes You loved me when I questioned love, through every low and high If I have one life to live, I'd live it holding you My best friend, my safe place, my heart belongs to you [Verse 2] I haven't always made it easy, we've shared tears and fights Silence, misunderstandings, and some difficult nights Yet somehow through the pieces, you still believed in me You loved the girl I was, and the woman I could be Every smile, every tear, every memory we've made Every moment you stayed when I was afraid You showed me that real love doesn't run when things get hard And somehow, through it all, you still have my heart [Bridge] So if someday this world grows quiet And words become too few Remember every heartbeat Still whispers, "I choose you" From best friends to something deeper Who knew we'd come this far? Through every broken moment You've shown me who you are [Chorus] Hakim, if tears should ever find your eyes tonight Let them carry every memory that made our love so bright From best friends into soulmates, what a beautiful surprise I'll thank Allah every day for bringing you into my life You're my home, my answered prayer The one who stayed when no one else was there And if I could choose my story all over again I'd choose you, Hakim—my love, my best friend [Outro] And wherever this life takes us, Whatever tomorrow brings, Through every smile and every storm, I'll be right there beside you. When you're happy, I'll celebrate with you. When you're hurting, I'll hold you close. When the world feels heavy, I'll remind you that you're never alone. I may not always have the perfect words, But one thing I promise you— No matter how many years go by, I will always be there for you. You stayed. You loved me. You chose me. And Hakim… I'll always choose you too.
