The Small Things

Husband → Wife

Anniversary · Ballad

Vanessa, I'm not going to give you some big speech about forever. I'd rather just name the stuff that's us: the dinner table we built wrong twice and kept anyway, the Friday nights we never skip, the dog we swore we'd never get who's asleep on your feet right now. Everybody looks for love in the grand stuff. Ours is in the small, ordinary things we made together — and I wouldn't trade a single one of them. Thank you for building this life with me. Happy anniversary. I love you, more than I show it.

Song story

Background

Daniel is 31, and he and his wife Vanessa have spent the last few years quietly building a life — the first dinner table they assembled wrong twice, the Friday-night routine they never skip, the dog they swore they'd never get. For their anniversary he didn't want grand declarations; he wanted to name the small things that became their whole world. He put them into a heartfelt ballad for her.
