10 times I tried to say everything I wanted but
9 days went by before I saw those beautiful eyes and decided that
8 minutes was far too long to keep you waiting so I hopped on
7th street and flew to your house only to leave at
6 that morning because I had
5 million things going on in my head such as why you would stay with me until
4 in the morning just to keep me but the
3rd thing I knew about was that I was way
2 young to even hope for someone like you so I settled with the number
1 and decided I was better off searching the world and settling for someone who didn’t make my heart go
0-60 every time I even saw them but I stayed
1 more night and then before I knew it 2 months later I’m moving
2 your new house and there are
3 animals except I decided you were better off be-
4 you met me so I went running until about
5 that morning and you called me frantic about where I was so I said **** it and on the
6th of the month asked you to marry me and without hesitation you decided
7 was a good number so
8 weeks later we got hitched and
9 years later I remember how much I decided that
1 x infinity days could never be enough to spend with the girl I had to settle with because you thought you weren’t good enough for me when in all actuality we’re both pretty ****** up so instead of one not being good enough for the other how about we are just equal but you’re far more attractive than me so you could do better but we’ll talk about that later over dinner.
