The 16th of October was when you worked up the nerve. 

I did a double-take because it was so unexpected.

The next day, I said yes.

We had our first date on a Thursday.

The first time that we kissed was when you worked up the nerve;

I pulled you back in because I had wanted it

but I did not have the courage that you did.

We made out later in December. 

Then there were March, May, and June. And another October

came and went.
