love is like a roller coaster

♥ twenty two ♥

i remember when i first saw you.
do you remember?
it was the first day of 9th grade,
orientation.

i wish i knew what my first thought was.
i don't know the order of my mind,
but i do know i thought about how pretty you were.
i didn't know why you were talking to me.
girls like you were always too cool to talk to girls like me.
but i didn't care,
i thought i was just making friends.
i never thought i would be falling into pieces over you just months later.

that day,
we walked into the auditorium,
wannabe by the spice girls was playing.
we looked at each other,
my heart racing for reasons i wouldn't discover until later.
we sang together,
and we danced together.
and we were the only two people in the world.
