(Fool - Cavetown)

You were...shy.

You seemed damaged.

You didn't know how to trust.

I was a replacement

In the back of my head a voice screamed "This is wrong", why did I choose to ignore it.

Your name was Brandon.

You made me feel like I was on a pedestal.

Your name was Brandon.

You made me feel on top of the world at the time.

I trusted you.

You trusted me.

We stayed up until past midnight every day, talking, laughing, making silly jokes.

When we first met, we joked over a video, we started calling eachother "bean/beans" because of it.

Then i was your, Sweet Bean.

We never dated.

But I was ready to.

You were older than me.

I thought I was special.

I remember the first time we really talked.

"Hi."

You looked at me in shock.

You told me later it was because you thought I was pretty and that him being this shy awkward guy I'd never even glance your way.

You were taller than me.

You were warm and sweet.

You had a lisp, but I could listen to you talk for hours.

We did.

We talked about music tastes.

The next day, you made me a playlist of music.

I called it a mixtape.

You walked me everywhere after school.

We would make sure we walked slow to extend the time we had together.

We walked to Starbucks and one of my favorite songs started playing.

I know you watched as I danced.

Starbucks was a special place to me.

It was calm.

There was no anxiety there.

It was usually empty during the summer, due to the fact that no one wants a warm drink when it's already hotter than the blazing son.

You told me that you thought I was special.

You didn't know I thought the same about you.

Your name was Brandon.

You thought you were unlovable.

You had no idea that you got me to like you so fast.

I couldn't get why too.

You didn't fall into the type of guy category I usually liked.

I usually went for the couple inches taller than me, scrawny, nerdy, but sarcastic guy.

You were tall, you weren't scrawny but you weren't Buff.

You loved Star Wars and hated that I didn't watch it.

You weren't sarcastic, but you wanted to be.

You were the type of guy that people didn't pay attention to.

I wanted to.

And you abused that.
