Silvestre

Written by: Ally Bernales

Through every storm, you've been my shore,
A steady hand when life was poor.
In college halls, where dreams were spun,
You stood by me, my only one.

When doubt would creep and shadows fall,
You lifted me, through it all.
In every challenge, in every test,
You believed in me, gave me your best.

But there were days, when tempers flared,
When love felt lost, when we both despaired.
The fights we had, the words that stung,
In moments dark, when hope was young.

We thought each other the enemy,
Lost in our pride, blind to what we’d be.
But even then, with hearts so heavy,
We never let the night end ready.

Through the silence and the tears,
Through the weight of all our fears,
We found our way back, hand in hand,
Rebuilding the trust we'd once planned.

I know the road won't always be clear,
There will be days when we disappear,
But in my heart, I hope you'll stay,
True to me, in every way.

Through hard times, through storms, we’ll fight,
But I trust you’ll stand by me, hold me tight.
And in return, I'll be your ally too,
Fighting beside you, all the way through.

For in the end, love's not just sweet,
It's a promise we keep, a bond complete.
So thank you for staying, for holding my hand,
Even when the battles don't go as planned.
In your love, I find my way,
Together, we'll face each new day.
