INTRO (Soft piano.) Before there were letters... there was a hello. Before there were tears... there were dreams. And before I ever imagined forever... I was simply a girl chasing her future. VERSE 1 I wasn't looking for love. My hands were busy drawing dresses, writing poems, building dreams bigger than my hometown. My world already felt complete. Then one ordinary afternoon, my cousin smiled and introduced us. You said hello... I smiled back. Nothing more. At least... that's what I thought. PRE-CHORUS If someone had told me that one conversation would become the first page of the story I'd carry for years... I would've never believed them. CHORUS Who would've thought... the boy I first called my friend... would someday change my whole world? Sometimes forever doesn't begin with fireworks. Sometimes... it begins with a simple hello... and someone walking beside you all the way home. VERSE 2 You knew my dreams always came first. You knew my parents would never let me stay out late. So every afternoon... you waited. Just to walk beside me, making sure I never had to walk home alone. Some love stories don't begin with roses. Sometimes... they begin with kindness. PRE-CHORUS Little by little... without realizing... friendship became something my heart could no longer hide. BRIDGE (Piano, soft strings.) Then came Valentine's Day. Everyone else held roses. But you... walked toward me holding a single carnation. You smiled... and quietly said, "I saw this carnation... and it made me think of you." Then you laughed. "Roses are for anyone... but carnations are for someone truly special." I don't know if that was the moment I fell in love... But it was the first time my heart looked at you differently. FINAL CHORUS (Strings build.) Who would've thought... that one hello would become a thousand memories? That one friendship would become the story I'd never forget. Some people become our destination. Others... become the reason we discover who we are. And maybe... that was always the gift hidden inside our first hello. OUTRO (Solo piano.) Every story has a beginning. Ours... began with... hello.
