I remember the exact day I met you.
We were going to exchange books at the Starbucks down the street and
I was so extremely nervous to meet you.
I mean, of course I met you before, we introduced ourselves in that same Starbucks parking lot and we went our separate ways.
But today I was going to actually sit with you and talk to you and I thought I was going to throw up on my way there.
When I arrived I parked my car and sat in there for ten minutes, too anxious to go inside and sit there.
Finally I got the courage to get up and walk inside.
I ordered a tea and I sat at a table near the door and buried my head in my phone, I thought he hadn’t come.
When suddenly I hear someone call my name. I look up and there you were, sitting at a table near the window.
You were wearing a button up, your sleeve was slightly unfolded and you had warm tea on a hot day.
How odd.
I went over to him and I asked how long he had been there,
He told me twenty minutes.
I smiled, apologized, then took a seat.
Little did I know at that coffee shop we would fall in love, and break each other’s hearts.
