The Long Way

Girlfriend → Boyfriend

Valentine's Day · Acoustic

People always ask how we got together, and I love that the answer's so unremarkable — we were just friends for two years. Diner booths, dumb inside jokes, me not even realizing I was already gone on you. Then one day I just knew. Best thing I ever did was not rush it. Thank you for being my friend first — that's why I trust this as much as I do. Happy Valentine's, Caleb. Took us a while, and it was worth every minute.

Song story

Background

Zoe is 28, and she fell for Caleb the slow way — two years of being just friends, late diner booths and inside jokes, before either of them admitted it had become something else. This Valentine's Day she wanted to celebrate the friendship that quietly turned into love, so she made a soft acoustic song about the long way they got here.
