I remember the first time
I saw her, and my eyes couldn’t peel from her smile.
I hid safely behind
thick armor, glancing sideways at her for a while,
She was sitting alone
on the corner, absently browsing her phone.
I sat with my tongue
in my throat there, and I finished my beer and went home.
This is the way
things continued, and days became weeks, became more.
I’d never be anything
worthy; of this simple fact, I was sure.
I wanted to talk to
this beauty, but knew I’d have nothing to say.
I’d embarrass myself,
so why bother? Alone, that was how I should stay.
Eventually then I
decided, with a gut full of beer I would try.
I remember then soon
she was laughing, but right now I have no idea why.
I can still feel the
warmth of her smile, and the feeling it gave me and all,
But whatever I said,
from my beer-addled head, I just cannot seem to recall.
I decided one day
that I’d google, and search for this girl on my mind,
And I managed to find
her on Facebook, speechless from how her face shined.
I freaked out for a
bit as I wondered, what she’d think if I sent a request.
After two or three
days, in a bourbon fueled haze, I requested and hoped for the best.
It was probably not
that much later, she accepted, but I guarantee
That the time that I
sat there and waited, was no lie, an eternity.
I figured I’d try and
engage her, but first thing I needed to see,
was what made her
tick, and I noticed real quick, that her likes were familiar to me.
I enjoyed when she
posted her pictures, and I loved when she quoted a song.
I began to realize
that I liked her, and hoped that we’d chat before long.
And then in
astonished amazement, her name appeared there on my screen.
A message from Facebook
she’d sent me, complete with a Bill Murray Meme!
For a couple of weeks,
I would struggle, to come up with enjoyable chat,
And occasionally I
was successful, and occasionally I would fall flat.
But encouraged with
all of our talking, and all conversational content
I sent her a link
shared from YouTube, and we both laughed at PERGANERNANT!
It was then that I knew
that I loved you, and I wanted you all for my own.
It was then that I
knew life without you, would be something I couldn’t condone.
I’m convinced I’m the
person you’re meant for, and convinced you’re the one for me too.
I will spend all the
rest of my days dear, showing you that I love you.
