Do you remember what you said to me the first time you messaged me? My bio on my tinder said, “Swipe right if you want to pay for my college tuition.” You sent me a message saying, “How much is college tutuion? I’ve got about tree fiddy.” lol
Do you remember the night we first met and how I tried to pay for my way in to the fair and pay for the things that you bought and you wouldn’t let me?
Do you remember kissing me for the first time on the top of the ferris wheel? And then doing nothing but kissing me for the rest of the night? You bought a funnel cake and you leaned down and kissed me while you were waiting on the lady to make it. Then later when we got to our cars, we stood there for almost 2 hours just talking and kissing. We kissed so much my jaws were sore.
Remember me sharing that video on facebook of the horse with little legs that had to walk really fast to keep up with the horse with big legs and I said that was me when I walk with you?
How about our second date when we went to the movies. You told your mom about me earlier that day but she already knew my name. You said, “Damn, private investigator or nah?” Your mom said that what I posted on facebook was funny and she said she wanted to meet me. After we got to the car after the movie, we sat in there and kissed for a while. Whenever I left I texted you and said, “So are you my boyfriend now or?” and you said, “Well you’re my girlfriend.”
And then there was the night that you told me that you loved me. We were at my house and my family had went to the fair. Kaylee and Sara stayed to “babysit” us. We were laying on the couch, cuddling like we always did, and you whispered in my ear, “I think I love you.” and then later when you thought I was sleeping, you were rubbing my hair and you said, “You’re perfect. I love you.” This time without the “I think.”
What about the first time we spent the night together? You came to my sisters house and stayed the night with me. You got there and we sat down and started watching TV and you whispered in my ear, “I brought you M&M’s.” lol. Then later that night whenever it was time to go to sleep we went and got in the bed. We were both so nervous. We wanted to make sure that each of us had enough room, that we weren’t too hot, that we weren’t hurting each other. We had sex for the very first time that night. Between the “I love you"s and the heavy breathing, I would say that night was perfect. I remember falling asleep one time and waking up to you looking at me. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Then the next morning we went to waffle house for breakfast. I spilled syrup on my shirt and I asked you why you didn’t tell me and you said that you thought it was a design. lol. We spent the rest of that day at church for the revival kick off. It was so rainy and cold. I was worried about my hair curling and being frizzy because of the rain and you told me I was beautiful anyway. You had so much BBQ and mac and cheese that weekend that you said you were good for a while, even though it’s your favorite thing.
Do you remember the late night walmart trip to get ice cream? Me, you, Kaylee, and Sara all went to walmart and to get kaylee a new mouthguard because templeton chewed hers up. On the way there, Kaylee called my parents and asked if you could stay the night. I thought for sure that they were going to say no, but they said yes. So you bought a shirt at walmart that you could wear the next day and I washed your pants that night. (That’s my favorite shirt of yours, btw.)
How about the time that we went to the movies and then went to cookout afterwards because we were both hungry. We were being snappy with each other, but in a funny way. You told me that I was being mean and that I was getting too comfortable. lol. You were joking of course.
What about the time that I told you about what had happened to me back in January and you cried sitting on my couch? You told me how much you loved me and how upset you were that I was hurt, but that I wouldn’t have to worry about being hurt like that anymore. You were here now.
Do you remember this, “Kiss this cheek, kiss this cheek, kiss forehead, kiss nose, kiss lips, I love you, bye.”?
Then theres the night’s that you would come over after I got off of work and you would spend the night and then spend all of the next day with me. We would stay up half of the night watching “Poor Elliot” and “Llamas with Hats” videos. Oh, and that one time we watched that crazy Shrek video. lol.
Do you remember that one night that you came over and I was super tired. We were watching some movie on Netflix and I fell asleep laying in your lap. I apparently started snoring and you said that you played my nose like a flute. You took cute pictures of me while I was sleeping. One of them said, “When bae’s knocked tf out.” Then you put that thing on my Facebook about pretending to be a carrot. That was so funny. lol.
How about how you would always call my little sister Kale Leaf Talent Show and she would call you Evergreen Forest Tree? It was so important to me that y'all liked each other and that y'all got along.
What about that one time that you stayed the weekend and we went and ate iHop the next morning for breakfast. We ended up tipping the server $10 because I left $5 on the table and you left $5 on the card because neither of us knew how much the other was leaving. I haven’t been back to iHop since.
Do you remember the time we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. You weren’t going to let me pay for it and you acted a little mad whenever I took the check. lol. I paid for it because you never let me pay for anything. You put on Facebook, “When bae pays for dinner.” That was super sweet. How about the times when we went to Chick-fil-a or the times when I would come over and bring you breakfast?
Do you remember when I met your mom and your sister? We went to church with them that morning and then we went to McAllisters afterwards. I was so nervous to meet your mom because I was afraid that she wasn’t going to like me. But as it turns out, she liked me more than I thought she was going to. We messaged a lot on Facebook, talking about you. She was so happy that we were together. She said that she had prayed for a long time that God would send someone like me to you.
Then there was the day of my birthday when you came over. You told me that my outfit was cute and you gave me my presents. I still sleep with those pillows. That night you went to church with me and then we all went to Bojangles afterwards. You didn’t say anything whenever we were all talking about where to go eat, but when we got in the car you told me that you had Bojangles for lunch. Do you remember how I kept being sexual and embarrassing you in front of my sister? You kept turning red and it was the cutest thing.
Do you remember the time that we cuddled with Koda in your bed? It was like we were a little family and he was our baby. He laid in between us and fell asleep. You told me that Koda didn’t cuddle with anyone the way he did with me.
Do you remember everything that we did together? All the different feelings we felt? All the different things that we had done together and everything we told each other? I never opened up to anyone the way I opened up to you. I was more in love with you in the little time that we spent together than I was when I was in a three year relationship. You came in to my life when I totally wasn’t expecting anything like you at all. When you messaged me, I had no idea that you would become such a big part of my life. That shit sounds cliche, but I’m serious. I wasn’t looking for you when I found you, but I tripped and fell face first into whatever we had.
I can’t stop remembering.
