It’s a song that brings back the little moments—from a kiss on the stairs to driving around together all day—simple things that, although left in the past, remain forever. Writing it felt like traveling back in time, reliving those memories with a heart full of emotion and a touch of melancholy… It’s a song about how that first love leaves us with something eternal even if they don’t last. I hope that when you listen to it, you can connect with your memories and feel that “forever” that’s never forgotten.”
