Untitled

I went out with a new guy tonight

A business major and heartthrob

He even held the door open for me, and brought some peonies

All of the girls approve, a little too much

Playfully asking if he has any similar friends

But in my head,

I think of how he talked too much

And how I could never picture him kissing the nape of my neck like you do

And how that indian food we ate, wasn't the most kick-ass aphrodisiac, either

He is amazing

And it's really not about the food, or his perfectly pressed button-down shirt

 

it's about you

it's just my heart and brain are classically conditioned

to despise and discourage anyone but you in some ***** white t-shirt

your dark hair a thick mess, scruffy faced

standing at the foot of your bed, smiling at me

I wrote this at about 3am saturday. It's basically blabbing and realization but it felt good to write
