I Think I Love You

When I met you in September
I didn’t think you were anything special
I thought you were obnoxious
When season started in October
I got to know you- and saw you had potential
And your smile was contagious
I knew then that I liked you
That wasn’t a very smart thing to do
Because you are older
And going to be leaving soon
So I didn’t tell you
I dated other people- but kept you at my shoulder
I pushed the feelings down
Ignoring them was like fire with no flint
But they were just too strong
In them I knew I would drown
I tried dropping hints
And this went on for much too long
And the emotions became a whirlwind
I was terrified
Would our friendship stay the same?
You asked me to be your girlfriend
And our friendship amplified
For a moment, I thought it was a game
I was scared it wouldn’t work out
That it might end too soon
But all of that, I was wrong about
And I think that I love you
