All the firsts I want to remember were with you.
From the summer when I was eighteen and knew nothing to the summer when I turned thirty-one and learned so much.
Even the seasons without you felt like you were deeply ingrained.
“We’re just friends, so there’s nothing special between us.”
You pushed me away with a poker face, but because we were friends,
I endured those countless days,
and it seems you still don’t know it.
So, it looks like I’m going to repeat the same futile effort.
“Did I ask if you needed a man? If you do, I’ll be your man.”
You need to get to know the thirty-one-year-old me.
If you look at me with those eyes you didn’t see before.
“You’ve become a real troublemaker.”
Now that you’re here, it’s just the beginning of .
