Do you remember July 23rd?
To be honest, for me it's a bit blurred.
I'm talking about 2010,
Even though I was very young back then.
I didn't know what was this day for,
Until I've found these five boys on my phone.
Five boys with voices that were pure,
And their harmony healed every bruise.
They broke rekords, they had fame,
Everyone around the world knew their name.
Liam, Louis, Harry, Niall and Zayn,
Five became one on X factor on this day.
One become five after,
Making our days a bit harder.
The yellow heart had left first,
And after they all dispersed.
But when suddenly five became four,
Nothing ever felt the same as it did before.
One of them is now in the sky,
And all the boys had to say goodbye.
We celebrate a birthday,
But it's ironic, that it's on a f*cking Wednesday.
We have so many reasons to hate that day of the week,
But I hate it more, that now one of you can't be here.
You created a home together,
A home, where we can always return.
You were an escape from a hard life,
Joking about spoons, instead of offering a knife.
One day, this will be just a memory,
But we, the directioners will tell our kids your history.
Your story, what began with the X factor,
And will bring a lot of new chapters.
We know, this band isn't just a phase
And when we're old, we'll look back and say, "those were the good old days".
Once a directioner, always a directioner,
Thank you for the band, that made me feel stronger.
Happy 15th anniversary with forever affection,
One band, One dream, this is One direction.
