I met this girl. In the most awkward way. She had the face of an angel, the body of a model, and a personality best served with celery. I met her in a curious way. A friend of mine had a crush on her. he was a lonely fellow, a shy fellow, and an insecure guy. I forced him to hang out with her. I brought him to her house, and claimed, “I’m here for you, buddy.” But let me tell you the regret I felt when she walked out that door. She was so bright, she illuminated the secluded, dark, back street she lived on so much the street lights were jealous. She waved, she smiled. I knew exactly why my friend had feelings for this girl. The hardest part was, now I did too. We all became really close, we talked all night every night. One day, we went to the park and I kissed her. Sparks. Fireworks. Rainbows. ****** UNICORNS came out of the woodwork. It was horrifyingly amazing. It was like something out of a terribly written Disney movie. I ended up dating this girl, and almost lost a friend. This girl broke my heart, and I got my friend back. Six years later, an engagement gone wrong, and my friend has been happily committed to someone else. And now I find myself sitting here now, thinking about the girl who could make the street lights jealous. Thinking about her laugh and how she hits me when I pick on her. How she believes in ghosts; and how I find that ridiculous. How she tries to play it off like she some ‘Hard *** **** But I know deep down she’s broken, like me. Her eyes are a gateway to a place so far away. A place where nothing can harm you. Hearts don’t get broken, tears don’t shed, and love is energy. I bought my ticket to enter, I hope it’s not too late To catch that flight. I want the chance to make her smile. I want the chance to make her happy. I want the girl who can make the streetlights jealous.

Jealous Streetlights.
