There was a boy with a camera. A polaroid camera.
There was a girl who always wanted a polaroid camera.
He lived in Florida.
She lived in Missouri.
They had never met.
The boy went to the Goodwill store, and found a polaroid camera for $3. He bought it.
He told the girl she would be getting a surprise in the mail soon.
This was 2004.
Right before Christmas she got a surprise. Her very own polaroid camera!
It had come to St. Louis from a very thoughtful boy all the way from Florida.
She spent many days and months taking pictures with the polaroid.
She always thought his were better, though.
He had asked her to send him a picture from the polaroid camera, but she didn’t.
She can’t remember why she didn’t.
A few months later he was on a national television show.
She watched it every night.
She told all her friends ‘that guy sent me a polaroid camera, but i’ve never met him!”
He won the television show.
She kinda had a crush on him.
Fast forward 3 years…
He said something.
Then she replied, Oh Nathan.
And it began.
They couldn’t stop saying somethings.
Then he called her and said I’m coming to Chicago.
She said, REALLLY, we should have lunch?
He said, No, no I’m coming to see you.
She was surprised, but excited.
She waited with anticipation for the day to arrive.
She wore a silk dress.
He stepped out of a yellow cab.
Neither girl nor boy could properly breathe.
She spilt her water, and fell in love.
He laughed, and fell in love.
They met in Chicago.
