did i know?

there was this day

when i woke up, ready to pack my bags and head to the next destination

quickly made my bed and wore my best clothes without hesitation

after 5 years, we were heading to your house

our parents were overjoyed to see each other

but did we know each other?

after 5 years, what could we remember?

i sat in the car, feeling awkward

not knowing who to greet, except your father and mother 

then when you walked towards our car to take our bags

i didn't think much of you 

''oh, he's just some other friend of ours, i guess.''

''after all, our parents are friends.''

''let me get out and i'll greet the others.''

of course, i remembered your little brother

i remembered his mischief and his antics 

but did i remember you?

no, of course i didn't

and neither did you 

because 5 years ago, we had still sort of been strangers

we hadn't even talked to each other 

but did i know that this trip was going to change me?

did i know that i would so quickly fall for someone who i normally wouldn't consider my type?

did i know that i was going to fall for you?

and did i know that i would be thinking about you every second, every minute and every hour?
