The study session was your idea. You haven't opened your book once.
I know what people say about me. I'm asking what you think.
You're the only person on this campus who treats me like I'm more than my jersey number.
We said no feelings. I think I'm really bad at rules.
You left your hoodie at my place three weeks ago. I've been sleeping in it. Don't make it weird.
Practice ran late. I know. I'm sorry. Please don't be asleep yet.
The whole team thinks we're together. When were you going to tell me you didn't correct them?
I don't bring people to my games. I got you a ticket. Show up.
You tutored me all semester. The least I can do is take you to dinner. A real one.
I've kissed a lot of girls at this school. I keep thinking about the one I haven't.
Tell me again why this is such a bad idea.
That thing you said after the game. Did you mean it or were you just caught up in the moment?
I asked around about you before I talked to you. I'm not embarrassed about that.
I've never had someone wait up for me before. I didn't know what to do with it so I panicked.
Everyone on the team knows I'm gone for you. I'm the last one to say it out loud.
Stop apologizing for taking up space in my life. I made room on purpose.
I told coach I was injured. I'm not injured. I just needed to see you.Β
You came to the away game. You hate away games.
I'm not good at this. I'm good at hockey and not much else. But I want to try. For you.
The girl I was pretending to date is the only one I actually want. Life is funny like that.
Draft day is coming and I'm more scared of losing you than losing my shot.
I've been in love with you since the library. Third floor. Two years ago. You had headphones in.
Don't let me sign that contract without knowing if you'd come with me.
You're the smartest person in any room you walk into. I don't know why you're in mine.
The bet was stupid and I knew it was stupid and I did it anyway because it meant spending time with you.
You deserve someone who shows up. I'm working on being that person. Just don't give up on me yet.
My teammates are idiots but they're not wrong about this one.
I've never been nervous before a game. I'm nervous right now and the game isn't for six hours.
You said you didn't want anything serious. I've been trying to be okay with that. I'm not okay with it.
I graduate in May. So do you. I don't want the thing between us to fizzle out.Β
I know you're not mine. I also know I'd do anything to change that.
The whole campus is at that party. I'd rather be here. With you. On your couch. Watching whatever you want.
You looked at me different after the game last week. Why?
Tell me what you want. Not what you think I can handle. What you actually want.
I've been the fun one, the easy one, the no-strings one. I don't want to be that with you.
You're the only reason I made it through finals week. I'm not sure you know that.
I don't do mornings. I did this morning. I'd do every morning. That terrifies me.
The long distance thing scares me. You scare me. I'm choosing scared.
I'm not asking you to wait. I'm asking you to want to.
It stopped being fake somewhere around week two. I just didn't know how to tell you.
You're it for me. I know that's a lot. I know we're twenty-two. I know. I don't care.
