Too Early or Too Late?

I'm not sure if I met you too early or too late,

But I don't want you to meet me when I'm still full of hate;

Neither when I still don't know how to love myself;

Nor when I'm still too obsessed searching for the love that I crave from someone else.

You know what, I don't care if I met you too early or too late;

I'm just grateful that I had the privilege to have met you on our 12th grade;

I'm just thankful that you became one of my motivation to go on;

I just felt so wonderful throughout the time when I still see you, feel you and hear you that you also became one of my inspirations.

But if I would be given a chance to turn back time and choose between "meet you too early" and "meet you too late"...

I would still choose the time when it all began;

The first week of our 12th grade when you're still sitting behind me and our fingers collide that time you're borrowing my correction tape.

It was the very first time that I felt something so unfamiliar yet it brings out a smile in me and I want you to be the cause when I feel it all again whether its too early or too late.
