My Boo-Boo - A trip to remember

You invited me, hahaha, what a fool I was! This is a recollection of my memories from those days, those days preceding the famous 6/22 culminating into 7/4. This has been a trip to remember so far, let's make it remarkable, shall we?
You invited me, me alone, in may
To the north, north of Santa Barbara's bay,
North of Los Angeles and north of San Luis Obispo
To the wonderful beaches of Big Sur
The north shall remember, they said;
Send us on a mission to find a cafe
Overlooking the lake, overlooking the creek;
And take our pictures with our feet dipped in the lake
You invited me, for the best
This January to meet your cousin here in the west,
I never once asked why me? I was too afraid
I was too afraid to ask myself, to ask you until you disappeared
The West shall be known as our second home, everyone said
Send us on a mission to find each other, far away from our own
Yet somehow, that day you seemed like my home
Coming back, moving closer to house my heart
Then, You invited me, all alone, in June
To the south, south of Big Bear, under the moon,
South of India, but in California,
To a restaurant (Kovai) that meant more to me than it seemed
The South shall realize, they said;
Send us on a mission to find our hearts
Overlooking each other was not option;
Until it was, for a shy and egoistic moron
When he chose to overlook his heart's location,
he did so thinking you might be better off with others,
better off with people like her, better off with someone better,
Better off with someone not bitter
Truth turned out to be stranger and happier,
You were better with him, you are better with me - me and you
We are from two different states, the North and the South
a couple, not unlike a thermocouple, hot and cold
When he chose to accept his feelings,
he did so, wholeheartedly, his life would change in an instant
he would become the best version of himself,
not for himself, but for her indeed
This time, I shall invite you to the East, East of here
East of the US, maybe Europe, maybe India?
Isn't that exciting? Not knowing where we go from here, happily!
Let's run together, shall we? Chase our dreams and live with family!
The East shall be our home, home to our children
home to our hearts and home to our own
Shall we set sail on our next mission?
This time to treasure our time together
True, Cupid exchanged our hearts,
And I have absolutely no plans to give yours back,
Definitely not this time, not ever,
True, destiny brought us here,
But we shall set a course and rewrite our destination
Are you ready and excited, boo-boo? For I am!
