I met you in a shady corner of this club

that played hiphop music

you rubbed up close to me

moving to the beat of the song

you told me how pretty I was

I never heard those words before

so it was easy to catch me back then

we exchanged numbers that night

my heart fluttered

I couldn’t believe a man 

who was like you

was attracted to me

we kissed a few days later

and cuddled together

in my dorm room

our relationship quickly turned into friendship

and after all these years

I still call you my friend
