I remember the first time we met, I won't lie about the moment being magical, and how your beauty rendered me speechless, cos it was one of the most awkward moments of my life.
You weren't at all what I expected, you always sounded a bit more aggressive in your texts, but in person you were warm, fun and sweet. That night the stars lit the sky as if to commemorate our meeting and the soft breeze bellowed across my window as if taunting me, as if telling me I couldn't pull off a decent conversation with you face to face. The awkward silence when you showed up at my door, was stifling, and the stupid nervous smile on my face was to die for, it just wouldn't go away, and as the night proceeded the awkward glances became too often. Honestly I was worried you would find me too boring, cos I was. Every word I spoke was filtered so as not to offend you or chase you away. I was scared when you told me you were leaving, and I didn't believe you when you said you would be back soon. But then you came back and I knew everything would be okay, and I realized you were just as nervous as I was.
