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
