I Could Have Been Your Shopgirl If You Would Have Been My NY152

I never could say the things I mean,
But I just wanted you to know
I would have been your Kathleen,
You should have been my Joe.

They all said you were too prejudiced,
I know I was always too proud.
My words were undeserved and unjust,
Your silence was always too loud.

I told you everything from behind a screen,
I would have messaged you all night,
And as for the words and the space between,
You know "those three" won't make it right.

You were everything I ever really wanted,
Why couldn't we at least stay friends?
I was a wreck masquerading undaunted,
Now the means only justify the ends.

I would have been your Shopgirl,
I thought you were my NY152.
I thought I'd give that movie a whirl,
Saw it was too good to be true.

Author's Note

"Shopgirl" and "NY152" were the screen names of Kathleen and Joe, the main characters in the 1998 romantic comedy "You've Got Mail". The movie is about them falling in love on the Internet and being enemies in real life, until they end up falling in love in real life as well. In the end they finally meet, and Joe says "Don't cry, Shopgirl, don't cry". Someone said this to me, and that's kinda where the idea came from. If you've seen the movie, great, you'll get the references!
