Before I Knew It...

The first time we met
At that time
I didn't even notice you

The second time we met
"You're surprisingly kind"
That's what I thought

The third time we met
You had forgotten what we talked about, and
I felt a little lonely

The fourth time we met
Your mischievous attitude
Left me a little confused

The fifth time we met
At your silly stories
I couldn't help but laugh

The sixth time we met
You talked to me like it was the most natural thing
And I was a little happy

The seventh time we met
We talked a lot, and
We laughed a lot

The eighth time we met
We messed around and splashed water on each other
And laughed until we were out of breath

The ninth time we met
We met up on the way home, and
Played games together

The tenth time we met
Just being there
Was fun

When did it start?

Before I knew it
We were always together

On the way home in winter

Because it was dark
You walked me home

The long way
Slowly on your bike

We kept talking
About nothing in particular

I wished this road
Could be
Just a little longer...

Not wanting you to notice
That feeling

I said "It's cold, isn't it?"
And smiled at you again and again
