About All the Boys I Never Loved

I once wrote a sonnet for a pointless percussionist.
Telling him he is lucky to be getting them at an early age.
A fool was I neglecting his nonchalance with my heart.

I once wrote a sonnet for a dull director.
Telling him he haunts my dreams with his graceful tunes.
A fool was I wasting my skill on that opening line.

I once wrote a poem for an admirable athlete. 
Telling him his words echo down the street.
A fool was I asking for more than he ever cared.

A fool am I explaining this misuse of time.
Telling him how he will be related to the movies. And thus, 
I am writing a poem for a mesmerizing manager.
