At First

‘Let it happen naturally.’

That’s been a motto of mine

And I believe it still

If you let things develop naturally

They’re more inclined to work

Because there’s really something there

Pushing and shoving won’t do it

And if you do get something out of them

You’ve started off on the wrong foot

I started something new at Christmas time

It started off as just a job

A way to make money for while

See, I took time off from school

Because I didn’t know what I wanted

I was confused and feeling very lost

Somehow this job developed

It became so much more

Than just a job

First impressions aren’t everything

I remember training before I started

It seems like it happened ages ago

It was just a few short months ago really

I was whispering and playing tic tac toe

Well, that was before we really had to play

When we were going over games

We all had to participate

I remember a fresh face leading the way

An intern for the season

He had a list of games to share

It was a little bit of fun in a long night

I saw him

But I didn’t think much of him then

And that’s because I didn’t know him

Time flew by

It was sometime in January

When we made a deal

Well, it was a deal of sorts

We carpooled together to save money

Although it seems I’m the one that saved

He always wanted to drive

I never pushed to drive us

It may have been about his new ‘truck’

The season went on

Birthdays came and went

Parties came and went

Everything was good

There was so much fun to be had

And I have so many great memories

I’ll never forget how it started though

Because it’s funny to think

At first I didn’t think much of him at all
