#mydarling
I didn't expect to find some of my closest friends in a group chat full of missionary kids from around the world.
I didn't expect to fall for someone who kept waiting while I loved someone else.
I didn't expect to finally meet some friends from that group chat at a night market.
I didn't expect to call with the one I fell for to practice a presentation and then talk for half an hour after, just the two of us.
I didn't expect to sign up for a summer program at a college with a girl who's almost just like me.
I didn't expect to spam Josiah Queen lyrics into the chat of someone who likes his music just as much as I do.
I didn't expect a group of people who make it seem like I have a shot with the one I love.
I didn't expect to become friends with someone who annoys the chunk out of me.
I didn't expect to find a group of friends that is so supportive and loving all in one place.
I didn't expect any of this.

our time together today
makes me want
to write pretty poems
and sweet nothings,
doodle initials inside hearts
all over classwork
and notebook covers,
but I can't focus
cannot concentrate enough,
For every time you laughed today
every time you made me smile
every time I caught you staring
every. single. time
you touched me
runs and replays
through my mind
and blocks out
my concentration on anything else
but you,
but us...
