Your blue jacket,
My pink sweater.
From the first time i saw you,
That's all I remember.
We were six, or maybe seven.
The exact details—I can't recall.
But I was the new girl around the park,
And that's the beginning of it all.We started talking,
And immediately clicked.
You were my first friend
And it was perfect.
We were eight,
And that was when
We became
The best of friends.Like wildfires,
Rumours spread.
The term, "more than friends"
Was filled with dread.
We were thirteen,
When you said
All we'll ever be
Was just best friends.Your eyes shined brighter,
Than any stars that night.
Even the Gods themselves,
Would've been envious of your light.
We were fifteen,
When you had your first kiss.
I was crushed,
But for you I feigned bliss.It rained cats and dogs,
That July night.
Not from the heavens,
But from your eyes.
We were seventeen,
When you had your first heartbreak.
But I was there to ease you through,
All those nights you spent awake.We got closer,
Than we ever were.
The summer that year,
Passed by in a blur.
We were nineteen,
When you confessed.
All you could think of,
Was being more than friends.I was elated,
Happier than ever.
Thinking about you,
And our 'forever'.
We were twenty,
And everything felt right.
From Friday night dinners,
To camping in starlight.On our graduation,
Caps flew high.
Bidding our close friends,
Teary goodbyes.
We were twenty-three,
And you proposed.
A lifetime of happiness,
That promise enclosed."Man and wife!"
The priest declared.
An entire future,
For us to share.
We were twenty-five,
Marrying the one we grew up with.
All I could think of was,
Perhaps, forever is not a myth.A/N—sooooooo i should prolly be studying rn, but what's the fun in that eh
