before

why do i keep thinking of you even when you're not here? why does the mere mention of your name bring butterflies to my stomach? i've known you for the past six months, although we barely talk. why is it that only now i suddenly pay attention to everything you do and say? 

is this real, this feeling of happiness when i'm around you? your smile is suddenly so contagious, making me want to smile too. and your laughter, it suddenly sounds so pretty that i wish you could always be happy so you can always be able to smile and laugh like this. 

i think i like you, but how do i know for sure?
