now
I
understand
the
heart
of
the
lyrics.
It
isn't “
please
come
back
because
I'm
hurting.”
It's “
after
everything,
if
I
had
to
choose
again,
I
would
still
choose
you—
because
I
don't
believe
our
story
is
finished.
I
believe
it
has
only
begun.”
Peter
Dennis
Achuba…
After
everything…
After
the
tears…
After
the
silence…
After
all
the
things
we
didn't
know
how
to
say…
If
you
asked
me
again…
I
would
still
choose
you.
[Verse 1 — soft, trembling voice] I've
cried
your
name
in
the
quiet,
I've
carried
you
inside
my
prayers,
I've
wondered
if
love
could
survive
the
weight
of
everything
we've
shared.
And
still…
When
my
heart
is
given
the
choice…
It
finds
you.
Again…
And
again…
And
again.
[Chorus — whispered, tender] Peter…
After
everything…
I
still
choose
you.
Not
because
we're
perfect,
not
because
we've
never
hurt…
But
because
somewhere
inside
this
story
there
is
something
my
heart
still
knows.
I
choose
you…
Over
and
over
again.
Because
maybe…
Maybe
our
love
story
hasn't
ended.
Maybe
it
just
began.
[Verse 2] I
know
you
are
human,
Peter.
And
so
am
I.
We
will
misunderstand
each
other.
We
will
sometimes
say
the
wrong
things.
We
will
sometimes
need
space
to
breathe.
But
I
don't
want
one
painful
chapter
to
become
the
whole
book.
I
have
seen
your
goodness.
I
have
seen
the
man
behind
your
imperfections.
And
I
want
to
believe
there
is
still
so
much
of
you
I
haven't
discovered.
So
much
of
us
we
haven't
lived.
[Soft flute interlude] Peter…

[Bridge — almost crying] What
if
we
stopped
counting
who
hurt
who
first?
What
if
we
stopped
keeping
score?
What
if
we
simply
looked
at
each
other
and
said… "
We
are
still
learning." "
We
are
still
human." "
We
are
still
here."
And
maybe
that's
enough
to
begin
again.
[Final chorus — very soft] After
everything…
I
would
choose
you
again.
After
every
tear…
I
would
choose
you
again.
Not
because
I
don't
remember
the
pain…
But
because
I
remember
the
love
too.
And
Peter…
I
don't
want
our
story
to
be
remembered
for
how
we
broke.
I
want
it
remembered
for
how
we
learned.
How
we
forgave.
How
we
grew.
How
we
discovered
that
love
isn't
about
two
perfect
people…
It's
about
two
human
beings
who
keep
learning
each
other.
So
Peter
Dennis
Achuba…
If
this
is
only
the
beginning…
Then
let
us
not
be
afraid
of
the
pages
we
haven't
written.
Because
after
everything…
I
still
choose
you.
Over…
And
over…
And
over
again.
Our
love
story
just
began.
[Whisper fading away] Peter…
I
choose
you.
Annishma…
still
choosing
love.
Peter…
our
story…
just
began.
