One year

One year and two months

From the exact day we started dating

One year one month and seven days

From the exact day we broke up

 

But who’s counting

Who should even care

Because we’re taught love doesn’t exist

Not till your 40 or if it’s bought

 

You can’t buy love

You can’t help who you love

But I fell in love with you

 

I fell in love the day I saw you

I said “I’m going to date him”

Of course to myself

 

I fell in love the first day I hung out with you

I wanted you in that front seat

I was so nervous but I didn’t care

You were next to me

 

I fell in love the day I got your number

I didn’t want to text you first

I wanted to play it cool

 

I fell in love the day we were decorating doors

I was too short and you helped

We both wanted to just get out of class

But I knew you also wanted to talk to me

 

I fell in love when you asked me out

You told me about talking to your mom

I could see how nervous you were

I had no idea why

You got down on one knee and asked me

I freaked out and told you to get up

But I smiled

And I said yes to being your girlfriend

 

That was one day I could truly tell you I was

Happy

 

I fell more in love with you every day after that

I could go for hours

About how you hate smiling

But you love to cuddle and sleep

 

Or how you never liked being skinny

But I loved it

Because I liked putting my arms around you

 

I think the day I fell head over heels was

Every single day

You made me feel alive

When I felt dead all the time

 

When you kissed my scars

You told me everything was going to be ok

You would take care of me

 

But the day you told me you loved me

I cried

Because I knew I loved you too

I was speechless

 

When you kissed my scars

You told me everything was going to be ok

You would take care of me

 

But the day you told me you loved me

 I cried

Because I knew I loved you too

I was speechless

You’re perfect and I’m far from normal or happy

But you loved me

 

And that’s all I wanted to have

Was for you to love me

And me to love you

The rest of our lives
