Plans

We had plans.
We would go off, do our own thing.
You'd go to college, I'd go to college.
Maybe we'd even date other people.
But we had plans.
We'd meet up in five years and pick up right where we left off.
We'd pick an apartment and fill it with us. 
Laughs and platinum beers.
We had plans. 
We'd adopt a dog, 
A yellow lab or maybe a golden retriever.
We'd argue over the perfect name for her.
We'd let her into our bed with us.
We had plans.
We'd fight about things like money and the guy who bought me a drink after work.
We'd love.
We'd love so much people would envy us.
Kissing goodbye at my car for work in the morning as if we were still teenagers.
We had plans.
You'd get down on one knee and ask me the question id been waiting to hear since fifteen.
I'd wear a white dress and you would say I do and mean it.
We had plans.
Three.
Three kids.
And a big shoe closet for me.
A house with a yard 
And a bed for our love
Which then would be tired but still strong.
It would've still been strong.
We had plans.
But you stood me up.
You left me waiting for you on the corner until I started questioning if we had ever made plans.
You just had a schedule conflict.
Fear.
But me and you,
We had plans.
