is it so very sad

that I’ve felt this way about every other boy

but he’s the first since brad

to actually give me the long-relationship-tinglies?

because I feel as if I could be with him

for a while, even forever

because he talks to my dad

like a friend

and he talks to my friends

like an adult.

he takes forever to text me back

but it keeps me on edge…

he doesn’t take nonsense

from me or anyone else

and it makes me feel like a kid

but it’s time I grew up.

so he’s good for me

in a way that I haven’t seen before

and I’m excited because

I have the long-relationship-tinglies.
