Uhm...Err...Oi Vay!!
I have to fine tune
my ears to hear
exactly what you’re saying
please tell me
it’s my imagination
oh hell why don’t you
just pinch me to convince me…
Did you just whisper the words?
“l love you”?
err, its not the first of April is it?
I guess you’re not joking
because you’re not laughing,
silly me is turning your confession
into something amusing…
Thoughts are racing
through my mind,
Do I say I love you too?
Or do I just say me too?
Err I did not get the memo
on declaring one’s love
or I was absent from class on that day…
Someone please come to my rescue
better yet, let me go call a friend,
I’m sure one of my girlfriends
will know how to handle this situation
with more finesse
than what this novice ever could….
While grabbing my phone
I head for the door,
turning around half screaming
“Hold that thought, I’ll be right back!”
Disappearing into the bathroom
and closing the door behind me…
