He explains things to me when he senses that I don't understand
He translates conversations and doesn't try to keep them a secret between him and his friends
Our first time meeting outside of school
Was when we went around my neighborhood
A bit awkward at first
He pointed out places he already knew
As we walked fast and conversation came slow
No kisses, he walked me to my door and hugged me goodbye like a gentleman
Then got in an Uber and texted asking when he could see me again
I told him only if he meets my mom
He said he would love to
Well, I thought, what is this?
The next day without even updating my friends
They noticed a difference in the air between us
And tried to count the times he looked my way
Analysed the strategies he employed to get closer to me
He doesn't play games, least none I can detect
I would know, see, these past months have had me losing many bets
He calls me on the phone, he cares about my friends
In four to five weeks this will be over but I’d like to live while I still can
