I met you on a bender
Some time in late September
You were much shorter
Than I remembered
When my gritty replies
Met your pretty blue eyes
You were much kinder
Than other guys
I’m not sure why you stayed
When I couldn’t behave
But I’m glad you stuck around
You try to be patient
While I try to just make it
Another day without
Screwing it up
You find it endearing
But I’m constantly fearing
You’ll find a girl
Less crazy than me
I’m not sure why you stayed
When I couldn’t behave
But I’m glad you stuck around
We got a house together
A couple cats together
Everything seems so
Unreal
Like how could this boy
Not get annoyed
With my
Cocky insecurity
I’m not sure why you stay
And that I’m now trying to behave
I’m glad you stuck around.
