In seventh grade
I could point out love right when he walked in the door
I would hope he liked reading
and had a sense of humor
I would hope he enjoyed being outdoors
and walking home videos with his family
I would dream about him taking me on expensive, thoughtul dates
and kissing me on the forehead goodnight
But when love arrives
he's tells me english is his worst subject
and all of his jokes consist of popular internet lines
When love arrives
he spends all of his time inside looking at pictures of him and his family
because loves family never had enough money for a video camera
When love arrives
he is bankrupt without a car and love has never had a relationship before
In seventh grade,
I swear I could point out love if he walked through the door
