25/8, 25/8; a beauty.

She helps me help myself.

At 5, I bought a barbie for my classmate, because she didn’t get one of my bracelets, my mom and I made.

As I became a teen, I developed a crush on her, that I never communicated.

At 7, I was so happy I got to wear my Spiderman shirt for my birthday.

At 11–12, playing RuneScape and Gaia, while talking to my crush on AIM.

At 13–14, I was always instant messaging this girl from another school, deep convos.

15–19, self soothe

At 19, at Prom, slow dancing to Thinking About You, she tells me to sing it!

*Subtweeting her on twitter about problems for people to see, ain’t it.

*She wanted to take the bus to Prom, I should have listened.

At 22, I’m driving her back after seeing a Tyler, the Creator concert, as she sings self-control in the passenger seat.

I went on a couple dates via dating apps, 1st date — we didn’t talk much in person, 2nd date- too long of a commute 3rd date — She wanted more friend; she was cute, she talked a lot about her friends, and I’m grateful she paid for my In-N-Out; 4th date- nice time, laughed a lil’, ‘two different people’

20–26 self soothe
