Still You and Me Verse 1 September 2015, just a message on a screen, Two hearts so far apart, but somehow in between. You were there in Saudi, I was living in Malaysia, We never knew that Facebook would lead us to forever. November twenty-seventh, you asked me to be yours, Through Messenger, two hearts opened up their doors. By December I went home, back to the Philippines, And little did we know, our forever would begin. Pre-Chorus Then June came like a dream, Mactan Airport, you and me. After all those miles and nights alone, For the first time, you were finally home. Chorus And look at us now, Gino, Ten years of you and me, Through every storm and every road, Through everything we’ve been through together. We fell, we cried, we found our way, But love kept calling us to stay. And if I had to choose again, Through every life, through every pain, I’d still choose you, I’d still choose us, I’d still choose you and me. Verse 2 August 2016, our little miracle came, A new life growing, and nothing was the same. Then January twenty-fifth, we promised to be one, And May tenth brought KD, our beautiful little son. We weren’t perfect, we were young, But we were building something strong. A family born from unexpected love, A blessing sent from heaven above. Verse 3 September 2019, I had to leave again, Qatar became my home, while you stayed there with him. I left my husband Gino, and our two-year-old boy, And you became his father, his comfort and his joy. Two years and eight months, you cared for our son, While I worked so far away, missing every little one. There were nights when distance hurt, And moments when we both felt lost, But even when love was breaking, You were still worth the cost. Pre-Chorus 2 November 2022, we lost our way, Too many problems, too much pain. Until May 2023, we were apart, But somehow you never stopped fighting for my heart. Chorus And look at us now, Gino, Ten years of you and me, Through every storm and every road, Through everything we’ve been through together. We fell, we cried, we found our way, But love kept calling us to stay. And when I came home on May fifth, You promised me we’d try again. By June, I gave you my heart, And we began again. Bridge Love isn’t always roses, Sometimes love means letting go. Sometimes it’s saying, “I’m sorry,” Sometimes it’s saying, “Let’s go home.” You pursued me when I was hurting, You apologized, you didn’t give in. And I chose to open my heart, To let our love begin again. Then June 2024 came, And once again I had to leave. Malaysia became my working home, While you stayed there with our family. But this time we’re still together, Even though we’re miles apart. Because distance cannot break What we have inside our hearts. Final Chorus And look at us now, Gino, Ten years of you and me. From Facebook messages to Mactan Airport, From two hearts to a family. From Saudi, Malaysia, Qatar, To every place we’ve had to go, We’ve crossed oceans, we’ve faced storms, And somehow love still brought us home. We have our son, our precious KD, Our greatest blessing, our reason to believe. And after everything we’ve survived, You’re still the one beside my heart. So on January twenty-fifth, I’ll look into your eyes and say: Ten years ago I chose you, And I’d choose you every day. Outro If our story had to start again, I’d still find you through that screen. I’d still wait for Mactan Airport, I’d still say yes to our crazy dream. I’d still choose the life we made, The tears, the laughter, every scar. Because through every distance, No matter where we are— It’s still you and me. Still Gino and Lucila. Still Mom, Dad, and KD. Still our family. Still our love. Still us. And ten years from now, If you ask me once again, “Would you choose me?” I’ll smile and say— “Always. In every lifetime, I’d still choose you.”
