This relationship is different.
For as childish as we are, it just feels so grown up.
Like this is how it would be if we had our own place.
He'd lay on the couch reading, I'd sit on the floor drawing.

When I relayed this thought, he kissed me, agreed, and told me
that it was because he could be himself around me.

That's exactly what it is.
Even though I want to impress him, I don't feel like I have to.
And that's a first.
He has flaws, and I don't want to change them.
And that's a first.
We don't have to constantly be together.
We don't have to sit next to each other everyday of our lives.
We don't have to hold hands.
We go dutch sometimes because I know that that's a burden in a relationship.

I always wanted to be like Peter Pan and never grow up, but
now that I'm out of Neverland, I like this world too.
More, even.

And that's a first.

We haven't learned yet that each romance has a last day.
