I wonder how I let so much time go by with him and not realizing how much of it I'd want back years later. I wish I could have told myself back then that I'd be lying awake some nights with miss. I wish I savored his hands in my hair. I wish I woke up with a smile, because it was another day he was in love with my grumpy morningness. I never cared, back then, that it would end.
Back then, I was in love with someone I don't even think about now. I should write a warning book for college students:
1) Never take any opposite-sex friend for granted. 'Old College Friend' is the best lay 7 years down the road.
2) The boy who you can't live without will be the boy you end up living without. Keep that in mind, and you'll act way cooler than you are right now.
3) If said boy writes you a poem, for goodness sakes, remember it. Get a copy, get it signed, but remember #2.
4) "Everybody wanted to be with you last night. Everybody." means the guy likes you. He is including himself in this statement. Don't think he's asexual just because he has a girlfriend at the time. She'll be old news soon.
5) If said boy has a said girlfriend, and she's petite and blonde and beautiful, sleep with him anyway. He'll cheat on her with some fat cow in a year, end up being single, and you will have lost your chance because now he's tagged as a cheater and is therefore way less attractive.
6) The boy you've always wanted to sleep with will try to sleep with you when he's drunk. Always stay a little more sober than him in order to keep control of the situation. Your first time with him shouldn't be a sloppy mess.
7) Make sure you're available when said boy breaks up with his girlfriend and calls you.
8) Choose the guy who doesn't automatically trade you in for a hotter model any chance he gets.
9) Choose the guy who notices everything you do, who gets jealous, who takes care of you when you throw up, who buys you dinner, who knows what you want, who fills up your gas tank, who makes you laugh milk out of your nose, who gives you daily back massages, and who naturally steps in front of you when you need protection. Grab him. Because otherwise he'll get married to someone else.
10) College bars are not cool. Go somewhere else, and don't drink before class. It just isn't cool.

ps i doubt many college girls will have poems written for them, but they should take your advice to heart!
