Slow Reader

This is how the story goes

I was a secret romantic

Looking for reasons not to run

Friends warned me about your restless temper

But I only saw your smile

That was chapter one

Pages later you met my mom

I watched you treat her like a friend

And in that moment I knew I never wanted our story to end

Now I’m on the last chapter

Called getting over you

But man, am I a slow reader

I was worried you were losing interest

Doubt was running through my veins

I just wanted us to last

I’ll never know what was in your head when you decided we were done

But mine was wishing we could jump a few chapters back

And the confusion just grew deeper

Diggin up all I did wrong

And I wondered if we were ever on the same page at all

Now I’m on the last chapter

Called getting over you

But man, am I a slow reader

You closed this book a long time ago, but as for myself

I keep it open in case you ever grab your copy off the shelf

Now I’m on the last chapter

Called getting over you

But man, am I a slow reader
