Four years ago it all started.
Then I thought that was it,
that was all the time we had.

And so things changed,
nothing panned out how I expected.
It was over now, just a memory.

The following years were full of
wonder,
more so fantasies than dreams,
countless emotions filling my mind.

It was like getting picked last on the team,
or even first for humiliation.
We kept to ourselves, moved on from what was once everything.

At one point I thought I was
content,
like the storm had finally blown over,
until you crossed my mind one afternoon three years later.

But you see that’s the thing.
You didn’t cross my mind one lonely night,
or just the next day.
You crossed my mind one typical afternoon three years later when I thought I was
ok.

Maybe this all sounds
cliche,
or like it was just a coincidence,
but I do believe everything happens for a reason.
You’re my reason.

And so here we are now,
finishing up something that started four long and confusing years ago.
But somehow, those four years turned out to be well worth waiting for.

We grew,
we changed,
we collided,
and now we can say it’s all a memory.
