Lost and Found

Eyes that blue just aren’t natural.

They’re so honest.

Of course in seventh grade, I thought that

Blonde Hair + Blue Eyes = “total hottie.”

I thought that being romantic meant speaking in foreign languages.

Sweet boys were the ones with roses.

But then I went on an antisocial rampage;

Don’t give me those beach boys.

Get away, Abercrombie.

Let’s see that bass player, dark hair glistening in the shadows.

Show me the boy that writes poetry in the margins of a newspaper.

Real romance is the one that doesn’t need words; looks tell all.

I wanted the one that no one noticed but wished they had.

But now . . .

Now, I don’t know what I want.

I can’t define it.

If I can’t describe what I’m looking for, how can I find it?

Find me.
