A summer experience, all the time while the kisses were bright—in warm regards. The careless fall; we'd spring up a conversation on talking about love. And how you fell for my charms.
Retracing scars of past loves, (so few actually) still I've been gunned down by such a handful of quests. You'd see those marks on my arms.
By far—I'm no perfect romantic. The type to chance his chances of the first awkward advances. My wit to say, only comes out of less pressuring moments. To impress you only when we've known the shape of each other's humour.
I was a late bloomer. The sort of nerdy kid, throughout school. Constantly anxious to impress a design on; as a daily tool. And as usual, too full of myself thinking I was overly too cool. But really just full fled fool.
So when we met, it was my season of necessary growth, in the journey of my life of a revelation's show. Questioning self worth, the ways of the world, and YouTube videos of how to kiss a girl. And the highest being what is means to be a man. Soft with the emotions compared to others, and finding it hard to fit in with their clan.
Before you met me, I was teased for walking like a duck. Yet you told me I walk with such confidence,— but I was a chicken towards standing out, that you could hear a cluck in my gulps. I'm still the type to start a conversation with, "what's up"
As being up to no good with other people my age, but none at the drinking age of the clubs we snuck in. Still at an early stage, I learnt I wasn't that big on going out clubbing. But a few drinks at home, good food for at home and sometimes drinking alone was more my norm.
Before you met me, it was what you'd call my BC days. Still I went to church from a young age, but the Lord wasn't the first call to hard situations. Or even ending my prayers with a, "in Jesus name"
I'm still learning more about myself present day, and that's okay. Because the learning experience never ends until we're dead. So there's more to my story by every new turning page. I might seem strange, but all in all—I'm glad of the person I became. And the After is beautifully being discovered today.
