What if you asked me
When I fell in love with you
The precise moment in time
I wouldn't tell you that
It was when I first met you
At our restaurant with mutual friends
When we laughed until our parents picked us up
I wouldn't tell you that
It was when you first said you liked me
Found me attractive
Took notice
I wouldn't tell you that
It was valentine's day after we'd become friends
When you first kissed me
But you fought and you left
I wouldn't tell you it was
When you told me you missed me after I moved
After I was out of reach
But a mere phone call away
I wouldn't tell you it was
The day you admitted you couldn't forget me
That you kept dreaming of me
Of us.
I wouldn't tell you that
It was when you told your parents
That you had a girlfriend
That I was your girlfriend
I could tell you a list full of moments,
Of times we shared
That I would never forget
Could never forget
That weren't the precise moment
That moment I fell in love.
What I would tell you
Is that I fell in love with you
On a nameless day
Where we sat on the phone
Before you drove,
Before I drove,
Before we dated,
Before her,
Before him,
When we confessed separation anxiety
And we talked about opportunities
About school
About our feelings
Our feelings for each other
You told me that one phrase
"I love you, but I'm not in love with you"
Before then I thought about it
Pondered the possibility
That possibly I could love you
But not until those fatal words
Poured from your lips
And my heart ached
Did I realize that you meant so much to me
That I was in love with you.
Obviously things have altered since then.
We stayed friends
Remained close
And here we are together
(finally, believe it or not)
In love with each other.
And at the end of it all
that love is all that matters.
