Reading the Signs Wrong

 

With crushes, a girl’s life can be full of meaning,

That even an innocent act can change her everything,

Then she starts to think that the act means something,

Oh, girls, I know you’re familiar with this feeling.

 

On the way to school, he bumps at you and it’s his fault

And your heart starts doing its usual somersault,

You can’t help but think that it wasn’t just an accident,

So you write on your diary about this meaningful event.

 

He picks up the books that fell to the ground,

He mumbles a sorry, with your name he bound,

First words he said to you plays in a loop de loop,

Stuttering “thank you” while fighting urge to poop.

 

Carrying the books, he offers to walk you to class,

And when he learns you’re in the same, he tells you he’s an a*s.

Giggling, you spank him and tell him “it’s okay,”

Deep inside, you’re crumbling since he only learned that day.

 

Bored, he asks you about you in class,

You tell him you like pink ‘cause you are a lass.

The next day, he comes to school looking so pink,

Whole day, the shirt’s meaning is all that you think.

 

In Chemistry, the teacher announces each pair,

He said it’s a project so a table you’ll share.

And when it is announced that you are working with your crush,

You take it as God’s sign, so you start to blush.

 

Before you sleep, he texts you “Good night”

You clench your chest ‘cause it feels so tight,

You think for an hour on how to reply,

To a message he sent in just a blink of an eye.

 

The next week you see him again at that same spot,

An idea that he’s into you makes you think that you have a shot,

But then this time he bumps into another girl,

Déjà vu flashes but with an unexpected twirl.

While I can't comprehend your ongoing fascination with fecal matter :P but there are some very incredible points to this piece.

(1) The pink shirt. One of the truest, most touching tragedies of pre-relationship amblings.

(2) The text message... the fact that idle conversation for him has made your entire night... you captured that brilliantly.

(3) The utterly depressing (and spot-on accurate) ending.

Well done.

This was great! I loved the wording you chose throughout the piece. The third stanza literally made me laugh out loud. I liked to see a little humor in the piece. The ending was sad :( But most times that's exactly what happens with a crush. Occasionally we get lucky and it actually works out. Anyway, you did a great job and I enjoyed reading your writing!

Very nice. Funny and catchy but a bit melancholic. Awesome write.

loved this! title captivated my attention and you carried out the rest beautifully. nice job, certainly a feeling lots of girls can relate to! and you expressed that here wonderfully!

A very true and honest rendition
of "getting the wrong message".
Everybody does it , but at the tender
teen years simple social mistakes become
amplified out of all proportion to their
value.
'Wonderful write. This should be
engraved on monuments and mounted in '
public places.
