ARLEY

We sit by the sidewalk
we wait for my mom
to pass the time we talk
of some girl's message to Jon

We talk of my boots
we talk of a moped
I glance up to her looks
and the time stops dead

I blink my eyes closed
I open them again
she still stands there
she still looks the same

My heart begins to fly
my blood flows at a rhythm
someone ought to die
and so we talk of him

I try to hide my excitement
I try to remain calm
I think myself an actor
but do I show the storm?

Her backpack small and red
her face amazingly cute
you'd never hear me say it
but she even has nice boobs

I sigh inside and stare
at the prettiest face in school
for me she has no care
she cares for who are "cool"

She looks so cute and sweet
I'd be smitten in a second
my heart would skip a beat
or so I would portend

but if she asked me out
I'd reply with a no
though I'm sure I'd really love it
I just couldn't go

for a girl with bad taste
is no girl of mine
I'm a sucker for a face
but it takes more to make me smile.
