Let's be kinder this time, from the beginning.
Let's know we're in love and say it out loud.
You can shake my dad's hand and make eye contact with him.
I can show up in myself when you kiss me. And I can kiss you back.
You can say nice things to me, and I won't drink at parties so that I won't embarrass you.
We can give up 7 years of selfishness and genuinely smile because we like it.
Let's pretend that none of the in-between happened if our friends bring it up.
Let's hold hands and pray.
Let's get dressed up and go dancing.
Or else, if you want...
we can just keep living in empty rooms and talking to imaginary versions of each other. For years and years.
Maybe I just thought I was in love because of the song that came on the radio when you walked into the room for the very first time.
It can be tricky like that.
And we can keep going, because there's not much choice.
