The day we met

Frozen I held my breath

Right from the start

I knew that I found a home for my heart

~~~

A home for my heart?

Corny right?

I didn't use to get those old cheesy love songs.

I mean they're all the same.

Love at first sight?

Finding your soulmate?

A wedding?

And then, they lived happily ever after...

I mean, come on!

This is reality.

There's no background music playing as you stare at each others eyes

If you walk up to someone and ask for their number,

You'd be considered a creep, a huh?

Hahaha

Well call me a hypocrite...

Irony, I admit, you got me.

Growing up, I always kept to myself.

I focused on school,

Tried to make my parents proud,

That's it.

I had myself. I didn't need anyone else.

It was lonely, growing up in the closet

Like I never imagined a future

Of ever, ever feeling

love?

But you,

You actually replied to me!

A random stranger who came out of nowhere...

I told you, I hated how common my name was!

Then you offered to call me by yours...

It was the sweetest thing.

And I didn't know i was in for a sugar rush!

We talked about everything and nothing.

I was surprised because we like the same things.
