Do you like that word, girlfriend? Does he call you sweetheart and darling and gorgeous? Are you one of a kind? Does he make you feel special? Did he make it Facebook official or did you?
Do you like that you're his baby girl? Do you like it when he calls you beautiful?
Do you sit with him while he plays video games? Do you play along with him or sit quietly to the side?
Do you ask him for things or do you take what you get? Do you make him smile? Make him happy?
Do you sit at the bar and let him serve you drinks? Or do you stick to the nachos?
Does he kiss you under the sheets? Wrap his arms around you and say he missed you? Does he tell you good morning every morning and call you every night?
Does he play with your hair?
Has he taken you home? Have you met his parents? Do they like you? Do you text his mom?
Will you go to his intramural games and cheer him on?
Will you help him make something of his life? Will you help him to make a life of his own? Will you be the reason he finds success?
Is he taking care of himself? Of you?
Is he going to get out of that God-forsaken town with or without you?
Can you see your future together?
Does he put in any effort to see you? Does he take you out to dinner? Does he talk money with you? Does he wear the cologne I gave him around you?
Do you know about me? What has he told you? Do you know that he took me to country concerts too? Do you wear the same shirts of his that I used to wear? Do you rock them like I did?
Did he mention that he knew he loved me a month into our relationship? That he told me I was the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with? That we planned a future?
Has he told you that our two-year anniversary would've been right around the time you became official? Has he told you when we broke up? How we broke up? Why?
Is he proud of how he ended things?
Is he happy with you?
Has he told you he loves you?
Will you believe him when he does?
