It was about five or so years ago. The stupid alarm at work wouldn’t work that night so I had to be called in. It was just you and me for a few hours, deliriously tired and talking. We had nothing to do but sit around and there wasn’t even anything on the tv either. It was ridiculous and so tiring, we were there past midnight.
I think it was then I know for certain how I felt about you. I had really liked you before but that night showed me how deep my feelings were. I think back to then, to having butterflies in my stomach, laughing and feeling a tiny bit awkward. It was probably the best, happiest night in my life. You were so sweet, so silly and adorable and tough. Smart, funny, beautiful.
Of course it couldn’t last. Eventually you left the place and work became unbearable for me. I lasted a month after you left before I quit. I regret ever taking that job, it was a terrible place and horrible coworkers. But mostly because it still hurts to think of you even after all this time.
