It was March of 2021,

I was at the school,

I was walking around the playground,

Working up the courage, 

My friends told me to just do it,

But something about you, 

Made me nervous.


I finally worked up the courage, 

I made my way over to you,

And I asked if you,

Would be my girlfriend,

You said yes and I was so excited,

Butterflies were all in my stomach,

I would always fumble my words.


People said we would only last for two weeks,

Present day it’s almost 2024,

And we’re on our way to three whole years together.


You ask if I still get nervous,

When I’m with you, 

Little do you know I still get,

Butterflies when I’m around you,

When I speak I still fumble my words,

Crazy to think we met in pre-k,

Playing on the playground together,

But now we’re together looking for,

Apartments,

I always knew we were for each other,

I can’t wait to spend the rest of my days, 

By your side,

I always knew we would last forever,

Love.

This piece is one that just came from the heart. This is about me and my girlfriend and it pretty much sums up everything and how we started.
