do you remember when

mr. keery told me to sit next to you?

but i didn't knew you then,

so he called you ginger.

red.

i paused,

which lasted forever,

because i didn't know how having red hair was.

i stared at people who could be a ginger.

they always say i had brown hair so it also didn't help.

i felt helpless, before mr. keery talked to me again.

he asked me what was wrong and i answered;

"i don't know who has red hair."

you'd raise your hand and I saw you,

it was the moment i knew

what a ginger is,

how it seems and i smiled.

i smiled because there was you.

i smiled because i knew.

i smiled because you smiled.

it was the first time you've ever smiled at me,

and it was the first time i knew,

how it felt to fall in love with a ginger.
