I guess you can say I’ve always been a little boy crazy
Because it all started
In pre-kindergarten
When this little boy TOLD me
He was my boyfriend
And under the lunch table
He held my hand
Then in 2nd grade a another little boy
Chased me under a table
Asked me for a kiss
But he was hurriedly dismissed
With a disgusted look
And a, “WHAT DO U THINK THIS IS?”
Then he caught me behind the handball wall
Reiterated that a kiss on the cheek is all
And I ran from him
And avoided eye contact in the halls
And then in the 3rd grade
I met Mr. Green eyes
And I was mesmerized…
About as mesmerized as a 3rd grader can be
I remember thinking of asking
If my Valentine, he would be
Then 4th grade came along
I met a boy with the same last name as me
Then I thought, ”How perfect can this be
My name won’t change when we’re married”
This HAD TO be serious
Because it followed me to 5th grade
Then I found out her had a girlfriend
And the crush went away
But the very next year
Another took its place
And another
And another
And another became a lover
And I grew up
And got older
And flames began to smolder
Romance’s simplicities
I left in elementary
The innocence flows easy here. Thanks for the read.
