"Junior prom"

When you first arrived at my house,

I could see that warm, humble smile,

You said I looked so beautiful,

I'd felt all the worth while.

I had a thousand butterflies in my stomach,

From how attractive you looked that night,

I could only lay back and smile,

As we start our endless flight.

When I saw over 100 people at your friend's house,

I honestly felt overwhelmed and surprised,

Because I didn't expect so many cameras and people,

Awkwardly saying our, "hello's and "goodbyes."

But they all went to a different school than I,

As I stood there alone,

We weren't even on the prom bus yet,

I was somewhat on my own.

But my lover stood beside me,

Still uncomforatable and not fully content,

Because I couldn't fake a smile,

They'd made a huge dent.

You introduced me to everyone,

But I felt so lost,

Though you were beside me,

There was more love than cost.

When you grinded on me,

I honestly felt exploited and turned off,

Because it wasn't like you at all,

A boy who's always humble and soft.

What happened that night?

We were dancing together but your eyes wandered away,

I saw in you your insecurities,

And I'm baffled to this day.

You didn't have to impress other people as much as you did,

Becuase I just wanted to have the greatest time with you,

Because junior prom only comes once a lifetime,

And I focused just on you.

Is it me?

Or is it you?

Is it us?

Is it true?

But you never left me that night...

I give you my thanks and love,

Its not your fault that it was awkward,

Two hearts glowing,

From up above.
