It started off with a smile.
Your cheesy grin made me spend $4 a night on too expensive coffee.
But I did it.
I do it.
Because I think your smile is worth it.
And every time I go, it’s only to see you.
Although I would never tell you that.
Especially not now.
My guess is that you would smile and say,
Thanks friend. I appreciate that.
Then never show up again.
I would most likely not come back either. Because if you weren’t there, I would actually have no desire to go anymore.
Do you remember that one night you told me about your favorite writer?
Well, now I can’t stop reading his work.
Do you remember that time you finally asked me what my name was?
Well, now I write poems about you.
