Oh God He likes me Oh Lord He likes me I think I like him I know I like him First date gone by Winter formal dance The words coming from his mouth next "Looking forward to the next date." Had my stomach tied in knots Climbing out of his Mercedes Benz With the broken radio And the heat on full blast A smirk A smile A raised eyebrow A nod of the head A kiss? Too soon, perhaps He a junior, me a sophomore We could go places The mall Photo booth Polaroids Strung about my room Shared laughs Long nights Tired eyes Upraised mouths A relationship? Maybe A friend? Definitely.
