Day 8
Write lyrics about a secret crush you had in high school that you
haven’t seen in years and often wonder what would have happened if you
had expressed your feelings.
Sophomore Crush
On the first day of school,
You glanced at me so cool
And shot me with a rubber band
Perfect face
Perfect smile
Acne and braces not withstanding
Plaid skirt, fishnets, Doc Marten boots
Short hair, long legs,
Lunch box, tape deck
You were so punk rock, hanging with your crew
Statue of Liberty
"Come sit down!"
You beckoned me
"What are things like where you come from?"
Four or five, of similar mind
Hard stares and begrudging smiles
"I think we're gonna have ourselves some fun!"
We had French and History
I got As, you got Bs
Me, the dreamer, you a fantasy
Summer nights, feeling free
Fireworks, 9:30
Still we had to make it home by 10
Disneyland, down the street
Parties, shows, go out to eat
I thought that we were always going to be friends

That's it for now. As I reflect on this, I wonder how many of my "secret crushes" have actually ever been secret? I don't seem to be very good at containing myself, which leads to cats coming out of bags with alarming regularity. I'm fairly certain that every pretty girl I've ever made eye contact with must have known to some extent what was going on in my transparent cranium.

I've changed my comments settings to allow for anyone to comment. All comments are welcome, even spineless potshots from anonymous posters. Please, by all means, give me the tongue lashing I so richly deserve. I promise not to hunt you down and melt your keyboard with my plasma cannon. I won't, however, promise not to pout and make that face you can't stand.
