Chapter 1: {Season 1}

It was all I ever wanted to happen

Or so I thought at least

As when it finally did happen

I gave it all up for a girl I'd known just for a week

It was the best I'd felt in a really long time

And yet the most afraid too

It was the most unpredictable of choices I've had to make

And yet the most obvious too

To finally spend time with my ex

Who I still wasn't over yet

Or to go see this new friend

Who I'd only recently met

It was the easiest thing I've had to realize

As it was the only answer to why I chose the latter

And yet the hardest thing I've realized too

That I've already fallen in love with her

I'd tried my best to stop her from moving in

Afraid of the way she made me feel

But she did move in and the next thing I knew

Her presence had become the most valuable thing to me

The kind of things I've done for her

Were the most unimaginable on their own

But paired with the smile they brought on her face

I'd do them again just to see one more

I sang to her when she got stood up on her date

And danced for her a crazy chicken dance too

I even drove around for an hour looking for her

When she ran around with toilet paper that she didn't even use

I once woke an entire neighborhood up

Just for her to see those lights she desired

And didn't even care that I'd missed my flight

As I got what I wanted - that beautiful smile

She too has done the nicest of things for me

Like taking care of me when I hurt my back

And crying herself but cheering me up

That one time I had a cancer scare

And how do I forget the time I was played by my ex

And hid in the photo booth as a result

As she was the one who gave me hope

That to be someone's backup plan was not something I deserved

I still did get back together with my ex

And decided to move in with her right away

She tried to stop me and rightfully so

But I just kept ignoring everything she had to say

And so she was okay with me moving out

Saying all she wants is for me to be happy

I did move out but only to realize

My happiness lied in having her next to me

So I left my ex and didn't reveal why

And moved back in to the loft as a surprise

And as she welcomed me back I instantly realized

That beautiful smile had made it all worthwhile
