Do You Remember?

Do you remember when we first met? I hated you. I thought you were the most conceited, egotistical human being ever.

Do you remember when we became friends? You had done some growing up, and after 3 years I could stand you, in fact I thoroughly enjoyed being around you.

Do you remember when we first kissed? We'd had a pizza, watched a scary movie, and spend 7 hours just talking about our lives and feelings and everything. You walked me out to my car and kissed me like I'd never been kissed before.

Do you remember when we became us? We'd spent the whole day together just flirting and talking on your couch, and when we left to go pick up my brother you said you forgot something, but it could wait. When we came back for me to drop you off, you asked me to come inside really quick. You brought out your class ring, which was way too big for me to wear on my finger, and put it on a chain and asked me to be your girl. I'd never been asked out so perfectly.

Do you remember our first real date? We went to the drive in right before Halloween and they had a horror themed night and I was absolutely terrified of the people outside your truck and you thought it was the funniest thing ever. You rolled up foam mattresses and blankets, we snuck in food, and watched two movies. When you got up to go get a root beer float, I looked through all the food we'd snuck in and found a box on mini candles. You were going to light the candles to make it sweet and romantic, but it was too windy. You never mentioned it to me, but I knew what you were trying to do and it just made me like you more.

Do you remember when we spent your birthday together? You turned 21 and it scared me that you could legally drink; I knew you had been doing it long before you legally could, but still. I came to your apartment in the morning with these weird brownies that you suggested I make as a joke. I woke you up, sang you happy birthday, and took a nap together. When we woke up, we went to see your grandmother. She was really sweet and just knew I was your girlfriend without you even having to say anything about it. Then we got Chinese food for lunch. We talked about how American Chinese food couldn't compare to real Chinese. Then we went to the bar where your family and friends were waiting to go out drinking. That was the first time I met your mother. She was always so sweet to me. We had pizza and you shared your "first" shot with her. At the end of the night, you guys were getting ready to get on a party bus and go bar hopping. Since I was underage, I had to go home. When you walked me to my car, I told you I loved you. You didn't say it back, but only because it was too soon for you. I understood.

Do you remember when you said it back? You came over after work and cuddled me cause I had a headache. We watched movies, ate grilled cheese, and I dozed off a couple times. Honestly, I don't know how you could have stood being near me. I felt gross in my sweatpants and sports bra and thought I could use a shower. When you had to leave, I hugged and kissed you. Then you said it. I squealed in joy and practically tackled you in another hug. You laughed and kissed me. I loved you and you loved me.

Do you remember when we ate cake in bed? It was right after the first time we made love. You said you'd be right back, and came in with this small red velvet cake and two forks. We sat there laughing, talking, and stuffing our faces with cake. We awkwardly fed each other cake and I tried wiping some icing on your nose, so you tried doing it back and accidently spilled some on your sheets; even to this day, I think they're still stained

Do you remember when my car broke down? I was on my way to school and it freaked out and flat out stopped. My first instinct was to call you and have you help. You came and followed me home to make sure I was safe. We ended up spending the whole day together. You fella sleep in the couch because you hadn't gotten much sleep, and I took some cute pictures of you. I don't think you even know they exist.

Do you remember when we became I? You said you couldn't give me what I deserved, but I didn't care. I still loved you.

I still love you..
