Before we met

I was just starting my first year in college,

I was still slightly getting over the death of my pet ferret, Snoopy.

I loved her so much.

The first day came and we had Japanese 101 together.

We began talking and became friends instantly.

You made me smile, laugh, and I could be happy again.

One night, after a club meeting, you asked me to dinner, offering to pay.

I instantly said no,

not wanting you to waste your money on me.

After winter break,

my feelings started to blossom.

From like to affection.

We started getting closer after a break up,

and I felt that I could feel safe in your arms, my affection soon turned into love
