Cracking through
The layers of her
Chipping away
Month by month
2 to hear her voice
4 after that for a video call
And as I sit
Imagining the stars aligning
June sounds like a good time
To go meet her right?
And so yea
Today was our second first date
Watching your face with your voice
A combination I'd only ever gotten
One at a time
Today was so much more natural for us
Except when your mama walked in
And as if we're some secret
You yanked your screen down
Hiding me from her
Of course later they asked
Because we aren't a secret
The Christmas date
Opening the gift
I never thought I'd actually get
And I got a tummy ache
From all the German sweets I tired
But it was worthy it
I only hated one
Had to spit it out
But you don't like that one either
And you gave me a necklace
You have a matching one
Moonstone
And you gave me a pair
Of your precious kitty socks
And the blasted letter
That I still can't open
Because you told me I must wait
And I will because I can of deny the queen
I tried not to stare
But you are just so beautiful
It was so hard not to just take you in
Your smile
Your laugh
Watching you giggle
Cover your mouth
I do it too
You alt + tabbed a couple times
And as you stated at your screen
Your concentration face
It was the cutest
Getting closer to the screen
Squinting those beautiful eyes
Just ever so slightly
And I learned that a German can purr
With practice
It's a really harsh purr
But it's possible
And I made you laugh
Reading words in butchered German
I hope you realize I did that
Only for you
I absolutely hate
Pronouncing words
Big words
New words
Especially words in other languages
And I did it
To see that smile
To hear that laugh
I don't know how you read me like a book
How you know me so well
I'd butcher a word
And you'd spit it back
Properly said
Not even having read what I attempted
I'd be horribly off
I have no idea
How you figured out what I meant
"I'm fluent, I'm coming to Germany babe"
And you'd giggle and tell me to come over
That's probably why I kept doing it
I know you were nervous
You were the first first date
You were the second first date
But
The moment we laid eyes on one another
The moment we got talking
Your anxiety slipped off onto the floor
And it was just you and I
And I was no longer nervous
Just madly in love
On the second first date
With my favorite girl
