...for real?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMCMXXVI)
I wish he'd dream of me tonight. Like's thence
Not so imposs'ble that we'd meet t'avail
Ourselve of fun. O me! How many (pale
As lo, a crush is't?) times have I fr'intents
Liked one guy or another? All's pretense.
I canna win. He's tall. He did not fail
To notice that I liked him, and for bail
Walk thus with me. But I tripped...sans defense.
Why am I never good enough, 'cept fer
The scoundrels? Or how fix me til I do
Not trip when you draw closer? Flirt?! In poor
'Scuse I liked him before, alas, I knew
What I was doing. One look, yes'd, bestir
My heart in just a blink. I wish he'd woo.

Answer: look who actually cares about you, and who can prove in a trice that he owns your affections. Shit. I wish...you did care more than I realize and that...oh, you know.
