"Only five minutes," she said
Go.

Remember the first time you made me breakfast?
Easy mac with ground beef
"******* disgusting," is what my friends said
I didn't mind, only made you a little more intriguing
Most guys didn't even make me breakfast
You brought it to the little table of your friend's apartment
We sat in silence
A lot of silence
"**** it, I thought he was cool"
But, then something amazing happened
You spoke
Ever so slowly, you spoke
About work, about california, about everything
I slowly joined in
Steadily making jokes
Testing the waters
That's when it started
Opening up over powdered cheese

Fast foward.
Six months of ******* and we are eating tacos
You brought flowers
That made me happier than you could ever imagine
We went to dinner at some overpriced place
Even though I would have been happy at Wendy's with you
It was raining
Like it is today
We ran out of the restaurant
I was covering my hair wanting to look pretty for you
We decided on dancing
I was so bad
So bad
My awkward body couldn't keep a beat
You didn't seem to mind
We drank, we danced, we laughed
Then, we kissed
And when we kissed it was us
Those two kids eating easing mac awkwardly talking
No music, no stupid heels, no silence
Us, moving in sync

Then, we got out of sync
I don't completely know what it was
But, it was as if reality hit you right in the face
Dancing and kissing wasn't enough
It couldn't hold us together anymore
Doubt and uncertainty creeped in
You weren't the same
I wish I could have noticed
I was just so enthralled with you
I craved that spark we created
It was all I ever needed with you
I wish you could still be dancing with me
Making me unhealthy, amazing breakfasts
But, its over and those are the memories of the past

I guess that's all the time I get
