Stuck

He sat behind me in class His only demeanor to cause distraction Till the day he caught my eye. The day he turned my life into a roller-coaster. It began with a yawn and a kiss, Little did I know he would change my life. I didn’t know if he’d be the love of my life, I mean I just met him in class. We only had one little kiss But already he’s becoming a distraction. He’s changing the speed of our roller-coaster. But that doesn’t scare me as I look in his eyes. And because of the look in his eyes I’m not scared to think of our life And how even at the bottom of our roller-coaster I only need to remember that class To take away from whatever distraction. So I can treasure every kiss. But there have been times its not me he kisses And every time it puts tears in my eyes. I lay in bed and pray for a distraction Because it feels as if he ruined my life. I begin to regret every minute of that class And we reach the ultimate low of our roller-coaster. Sometimes I just want to jump off the roller-coaster And forget all about that first kiss, Go back in time to the class So that he never caught my eye. So that he never became part of my life. So that he never became a distraction Because now I need my own distraction From our scary dangerous roller-coaster. I’m scared of what he’s doing to my life. I’m scared of knowing this was our last kiss. I’m scared these tears will permanently fill my eyes And I’ll never feel the same as I did in that class How can I forget about that distracting kiss? I’ll just close my eyes on the roller-coaster Because he changed my life in that class.
