[Intro - Instrumentation]
Gentle piano and warm strings, light percussion enters on the chorus.
[Verse 1]
On the twenty-fourth of February I walked into the light,
Thudding music, morning air, sunlight cutting through the heights.
You were tying laces, humming near the rack of weights,
A shy hello, a shared water bottle — small, unforgettable traits.
You draped a towel on my bar like you already knew my name,
A laugh that turned my stubbornness into something I could claim.
That first awkward hello turned into a steady, steady beat,
Every rep, every heartbeat pulled us closer in that heat.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You did everything just to get me — stayed late, sent me a grin,
Left a note by the dumbbells, pulled me in when I kept my distance thin.
You learned my favorite song, you learned my quiet ways,
And suddenly my lonely mornings turned into brighter days.
[Chorus]
Rosa, always — you were the towel on my bar,
The laugh after one more rep, the light that healed my scar.
Rosa, always — the water when I ran dry,
You are the rhythm in my chest, the sunrise in my sky.
Rosa, always — you make the ordinary glow,
Thirteen years and counting, with every rise and every low.
[Verse 2]
Cold winter mornings, you pulled me out of bed to run,
Shared playlists in the quiet, coffee when the workout’s done.
You learned to read my silence, you learned to read my smile,
We built our little rituals, mile by mile.
There were nights you stayed 'til the lights came down to blue,
You walked me past my stubbornness and showed me something true.
The gym became our chapel, the bench our kind of prayer,
We found forever between the weights and the fresh air.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You did everything to get me — not with words but with a steady hand,
You knew the angle of my doubt and gently helped me stand.
The small reveals — the way you keep my socks in pairs,
The way you stay when storms roll in, pushing past my frightened stares.
[Chorus]
Rosa, always — you were the towel on my bar,
The laugh after one more rep, the light that healed my scar.
Rosa, always — the water when I ran dry,
You are the rhythm in my chest, the sunrise in my sky.
Rosa, always — you make the ordinary glow,
Thirteen years and counting, with every rise and every low.
[Bridge]
I vow to be your steady hand, your spotter through the night,
To warm your towel, dry your tears, and hold you through the fight.
On your birthday — February twenty-four — I'll buy you all the dawns,
I'll carve our names into the years and dance between the songs.
I promise small, loud promises: one more laugh, one more set,
To keep the light you gave to me, to never, ever forget.
[Chorus - Climb]
Rosa, always — you were the towel on my bar,
The laugh after one more rep, the light that healed my scar.
Rosa, always — the water when I ran dry,
You are the rhythm in my chest, the sunrise in my sky.
Rosa, always — with you I'll always stay,
Thirteen years and every heartbeat says I love you more each day.
[Outro]
Soft piano, strings,
