Painted Words

I remember the first time...

I remember the first time I saw you, in the cafeteria, who knows why I felt so pulled towards you.
I remember the first time I got the courage to walk up to you, I quickly lost it as I approached you and retreated without you noticing any of it.
I remember the first time I walked into fifth period and saw you sitting there, I was shook to the bone to find out that we had the same class.
I remember the first time we talked, I had made up a lame excuse to come over and sit with you, I remember you looking at me as if you didn't want me there.
I remember the first time we took a photo together, I was so happy and I swear I looked at the a million times that night, I still look at it all the time to this day.
I remember the first time you laughed at what I had said, you had been forced to sit with me after your friend had been moved next to me, I made a joke about jumping off a building and you laughed pretty hard.
I remember the first time I had heard caring words from you after you saw a photo you shouldn't have on my phone, "Cris, don't do that anymore" you said as you slapped me on the shoulder, it felt so good to have someone care.
I remember the first time we made plans to hang out. I was so excited to see you outside of school, then you never showed up and I was so disappointed.
I remember the first time we were alone that night, I had never felt so connected to another human as I did with you that night, it was as if our souls had been made to be together since the beginning of time and we had finally connected.
I remember the first time that I felt happy in a long time,
And
It
Was
With
You.
