You wore those blue sweatpants,
With the hole in the thigh.
I couldn't quite make contact
But you had this look in your eye.
Or maybe it was me,
For I wanted you so bad.
You knew how much I wanted,
But we pretend like it is nothing.
O
I was crushing.
Your hand "accidentally" touched my leg
And you weren't quick to move it.
The light turns red;
And all I feel is dread.
It's one of those lights that stay red forever.
Or at least that's how it felt with you.
We were going to the skate park like usual,
But the look on your face, it said,
"let's go somewhere beautiful"
Or maybe that's what I wanted,
Aside from everything else on my mind.
Your hand on my thigh
And I refrain from flinching
When you ease on over to my side.
I want to soak the moment in
But my mind won't let me hold it.
You kiss me on the cheek
And my body fills up with fear.
I don't know why fear.
Fear had no reason to be there.
The light was still red as we looked to each other.
"was that okay?"
You said to me.
I had to refrain from laughing.
"i think so. but what about your girlfriend?"
"it's open...."
"is it really?"
He insisted;
Then he kissed me again.
This time my eyes closed
And it felt like the world had disappeared.
We both got so into it
And it was a bit embarrassing
When the car behind us had to honk at us.
I opened my eyes to see the light green
And you drove off into the next scene.
Now at the skate park,
We both don't get out the car.
The tension in the air is so thick
But I'm just not so sure
If you should get this.
I ended up choking
And spitting on it.
Your lips bit themselves in pleasure.
I made sure not to finish
Cause I needed to remind you I'm a treasure.
Flashing red lights and a ping of terror;
You tell me not to worry
But I'm meant to be valedictorian.
"what's wrong with me
and what the f**k?"
I say to myself as we roll down our tinted windows.
The officers are harmless,
And remind us to stay safe.
He told us to watch out for dangerous motorcycle folks.
"and please cover up. go home and use a condom."
He saluted us and they went about their way.
It did ruin the moment but not so much the day.
We took his advice and went home.
He told his girlfriend that very night
And she didn't take it well.
I admired that he didn't keep it from her,
But of course I'd be mad as hell too.
Poor girl.
I wanted to comfort her
But how does one do that?
I made sure to stay out of it and
I'm glad you didn't send her my way.
But eventually I did reach out,
And I told her the truth.
"babes, i really didn't know and he told me it was cool."
"do you think that he likes you?"
"uhhhh"
"he never kisses me anymore. just asks for head and s*x."
"whoa."
You were a crush of mine
But now I knew to stay away.
O how I hate those games you play.
So now we don't speak,
But I do think about that moment
Right before the light turned green.
The way it peaked through my lids,
And the gentle touch of your lip on mine.
It was so divine,
But ultimately too good to be true.
Most of the time I laugh,
And I wish I could say I didn't miss you.
