It started with warm cookies
And a couch.
Small talk and music were the only sounds
Between us.
You drove me home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It started with a hurtful comment.
The first fight we had started
Because I got offended at something you said. It was an easy fix.
You drove me home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It started with my appearance.
I wore the same baggy jeans and t-shirts
I had no money.
You helped me get a job.
You drove me home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It started with my job.
I didn't see you as much.
I lived with you for a week
While your parents were out of town
I drove myself home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It started with a vacation.
2 weeks apart and missing you like crazy.
I saw you as soon as I got home.
I hugged you tightly.
I drove myself home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It started with a question.
After months of thinking, I had to say no.
I changed my answer.
You couldn't make it work.
It was my fault.
I stayed at home.
I couldn't wait to see you again.

It ended with my answer.
You were counting on me.
I was too young and ignorant to have said yes.
I picked up my stuff,
I drove myself home.
I wish I could see you again.
