when the sun comes up in the morning
i would call you, because texting is not personal
"miss sunshine, why are you up so early?
you woke me up, i was dreaming of you."
we'll be on the phone as we brush our teeth
then tell you today is the best day of the week
is okay if i take you out to eat in a little bit
i'll make heart-shaped sandwiches
i'll make cupcakes, and have your favorite chips
i'll pick you up at noon, sharp not a minute later
open the door for you, please have a seat
enjoy the ride and off to the union we go!
the weather is 77 degrees, with a nice breeze
you're wearing a summer dress with flip flops
and sunglasses because you don't want me to know
that you can't keep your eyes off me
we will walk to south oval rest next to a tree
spread the blanket across the grass
we will sit down and have a simple picnic
after we finish we'll lay down on the grass
listen to the birds chirp and then feed the squirrels
afterwards we go to the duck pond on lindsey
in the car i have some extra bread with me
we sit next to the pond and look at the ducks
we feed the birds bread then they start to chase us
we run back to my car and take you back home
you said you need to shower and take a rest
but you insist i take you out to dinner around 6
i said thats cool, i'll go home and chill with Ti
we'll be playing some video games but the truth is
i keep losing because i can't get my mind off you
i shower and get ready to pick you up at 6
the truth is i got there around 5:20, so excited to see you
but i drove around your block until it turned 6
i called you up and you came down
choked on my gum because my heart skipped a beat
off we went down the street for dinner
we had glasses of grape juice because we cant have wine
because neither of us is yet twenty one
(and also i don't think i can afford it)
you thought i was ignoring you the whole time
but i just didnt want you stare at you the whole night
my foot hit the table, i thought you were playing footsies
i got embarassed then went to the restroom for 10 minutes
i came back and caught you smiling to yourself
i asked "what's so funny? care to share?"
you said "nothing." but i knew what was up
because i was feeling the same way, too
for dessert you had some turtle pecan cheesecake
but all i could ask for was you, the sweetest thing ever
time to bounce, our stomachs were full
but my heart was fuller and had a lot on my mind, too
the car ride seemed like forever, my chest was bursting
the windows were down, the night wind kissing us
a certain song came on and i looked at you
i caught you looking at me and i quickly looked away
in the corner of my eye, i knew you kept looking at me
but i tried to play it cool and sing along with the radio
i finally collected myself and had the courage to ask
"would you like to come and chill at my place?
we could watch a movie or something."
you looked at me with a smile and replied
"we can do whatever you like, its fine with me"
so before it became too dark and late
we arrived at 2808 creekview place
the first thing you said to me was
"is it okay if we play some video games first"
yes! i love a video game loving girl
we played some madden and some nba 2k9
you won every single time and you thought i let you win
i said "no, you're really good" but you knew i was lying
now time to watch a movie, what would it be
in the back of my mind i wanted something scary
so when we watched it, you would hold on to me
in the back of your mind you wanted something sappy
so you could cry on my shoulders as i held you
but we decided to watch something funny or comedy
so we could stay up and laugh together
we made some popcorn and yes it was poppin'
coincidentally, you like Tabasco on your popcorn, too
i asked you if you wanted to share a soda and you said no
i was disappointed and my heart was about to explode
and then you said, "i would rather share a beer"
and then i knew, i found the girl of my dreams
we didn't just share a beer, but actually a couple
all the sudden it became really hot
it felt like the floor was on fire
i was so afraid that i would perspire
i am pretty sure we did not pay attention to the movie
because you were all that was on my mind
and i think, i think, i was all that was on yours
the movie was finally over, your head was on my shoulder
you got up and had the cutest yawn, like a cat purring
"are you tired, i will take you home" i asked you
"no, i am not tired at all" you answered
we both did not want the night to be over
i suggested we go to the park, and you happily agreed
it was a little nipply outside, so i put my jacket around you
you looked at me and smiled and thanked me
you moved really close and held onto my arm
i felt really scared and pretended to answer a phone call
i pulled away and pretended to talk on the phone
what an idiot i was, i am such a wimp!
so we reached the park and sat on the swings
"would you like me to push you?" i offered you
"i would rather you sit on the swing next to me" you insisted
we began to talk and you asked if i was afraid of you
i said "of course not" but inside i actually was
a little intimidated, because this girl is too perfect to be real
and i am too afraid to wake up from this dream
you said "if you don't like holding hands, how about this?"
you took my hand and we linked our pinky fingers
as if it were a promise to something more
we swung like that for what seemed like eternity
you looked at me and i could tell that you wanted to tell me something
it was something that words couldn't explain
the clarity, the sincerity, the purity in your eyes
in your heart you were yearning something
you needed some kind of response, some kind of security
i've never kissed a girl before and i told myself
when i do, everything would have to be perfect
the stars would have to be clear and bright
the moon would be full, and the planets are aligned
we would have to be on a beach with salt water breeze
but then something took control of me
and i involuntarily leaned in and looked at you
as if our fate were the stars shining bright
our eyes are like the planets aligned by destiny
and our breaths are like the salt water breeze
i knew it then, it could not have been anymore
perfect.

This was strangely heartwarming. The only thing that would've made it better is if it rhymed.
