Personalized song for Dean — for their birthday

The lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dean, it started on POF, a message and a grin
You gave me your number, July 4th, that’s when I let you in
Texted you that night, fireworks outside my door
We talked about everything, kept wanting more
July 8th, Kenogami Bridge Inn, you waited for me
A nice lunch, something easy, but it felt like history
You laughed at my stories, I watched you smile
Right then I knew, I’d be staying a while

[Chorus]
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made
Side by side, nothing I would trade
Sat on the bench, cuddled close, ice cream on the way
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made

[Verse 2]
After lunch we walked, Swastika Duck Pond in view
No rush, just talking, the world faded out for two
Sat on the bench, leaned into you, sunlight on our skin
You pulled me close, I let the afternoon begin
We left but I wasn’t ready for the day to end
Ice cream melting slow, laughter turning into a friend
Your hand in mine, nothing left to say
Except, let’s go back, let’s not let this slip away

[Chorus]
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made
Side by side, nothing I would trade
Sat on the bench, cuddled close, ice cream on the way
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made

[Bridge]
Every birthday, Dean, I look back to that July sun
POF, your number, every step since day one
Kenogami Bridge Inn, the bench, the ice cream taste
All those small moments, nothing I’d erase
It’s your day, Dean, but it’s our story too
I found home at the Duck Pond, sitting there with you
We keep going back, every year, every day
History’s still being made, and I want to stay

[Final Chorus]
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made
Side by side, nothing I would trade
Sat on the bench, cuddled close, ice cream on the way
Back to the Duck Pond, where history was being made
