i still remember
the first time i saw you
and i always got excited
when you started sitting
in the front of the classroom
right next to me.
and how we would talk every so often
and you'd flirtatiously knock over my bottle of water
i remember what i felt
when i heard you already had a girl
and i remember trying to forget about you.
and for a while, i did -
but only because i had to.
and then
i still remember how it felt
the first time you called me
that monday night
out of the blue.
i was going to go to sleep
but for some reason
i said fuck it,
ride with the moment
and i invited you over.
how was it that you came
to sit on my couch next to me?
that week was anything but normal.
i still remember the first time we kissed
and those few seconds we paused
inches from each other's lips
not sure what the other was feeling
or what they wanted to do
or if you should just take the plunge
and lean in
i don't remember who started kissing who
but i know i wanted you so much
and i couldn't believe what was happening
after meeting you months before.
i couldn't believe it was you
and me
kissing.
things like that don't happen to me usually
so obviously i had some bit of surprise
but nothing was going to stop me from trying
to be with you.
i remember getting into your car one night
and the cd you were listening to.
and i smiled because it was once one of my favorites
and you didn't even know it.
and i remember getting into your car one night
and how i felt when i saw on your dashboard
a single long stem red rose
i am at a loss for words even still,
months after
you gave me my first rose
ever.
twenty years of my life
i have waited for that rose
the one to come from someone special
and for my first one ever to come from you
fills my heart with only joy
just as you do.
thank you.
