A brand new school year

New classes, new faces

Went to first period, had no friends

This was a problem I had to fix.

Met a boy who looked familiar

Went to the same middle school

We talked, had an instant connection

Maybe he’ll be my new friend

After the first class we parted ways

To only see each other tomorrow

But later in the day, saw him again.

In my third and fourth period we talked some more.

As time went on we became great friends

Together we would work on homework and projects

More time spent with one another, new feelings emerged

And we started to see each other outside of school.

We bowled, ate and watched movies whenever we could

Everytime we hung out he made me nervous, in a good way

That’s when our lives were going to change

I was feeling different and I knew he was too.

Being friends was great, but I wanted something more

After months of friendship, I took my shot

Was anxious, even when his answer was clear

And that marked the beginning of a new relationship.

A new stage of my life, full of many firsts

All a little awkward, but mostly sweet

Now he’s more than just a friend, he is my best friend

That I will cherish till the end of time.
