He called me on my birthday

He called me on my birthday, after a span of 3 long years.
I had already been convinced by his slow hand waves 2 years back, that he ain't gonna stay.
He was just a crush you know, never meant to stay as long as you want them to.

He called me on my birthday, it's my 19th.
He ran out of his college fest to call me, i was flushed.
Just like my cheeks went full with blood when I would see him outside my school sometimes,
When he came to pick his brother up.

He called me on my birthday, but it was different.
His way of talking was not like before, when we shared the same class.
Maybe, I never noticed him enough to decipher his ways.
And that now I notice, its pretty warm.

He called me on my birthday, I never realised he will.
But as I wished him two days later on his,
I never realised we will talk till 2 am at night after 5 months.

He called me on my birthday, and now we are the text typa people.
It's not easy to have a conversation over a long distance, but he made it look easy.

He called me on my birthday, I never thought he will grow over me in 6 months.
Now we chat like hell, wanting each other close.
But you know, long distance relationships have its perks.

He called me on my birthday, and now I realise that he was always there,
It was just me who thought those hand waves were slow,
When actually they were shy.

He called me on my birthday, he called me by my name.
Once he punched walls out of anger on me.
Now he trusts me, he calls me bae, but we still have those cuss words living in the conversations.

He called me on my birthday, he was a friend then.
Now he might be something more, but he will be my friend forever.
He promised me that he will never stop talking to me.

He called me on my birthday, and now he a big part of my life.
I wish he stays forever,
I wish he stays mine.
