Boys in my life: Mixed Tape
It all started out in the 7th grade
on that very first day when i saw your face
my preteen dream, a sculpture out of clay
that god formed perfectly for me to say
nothing to all year and just stare
at your awesome brown hair from my chair
2 desks behind you cause iām shy
i sit in the back next to the quiet guy
cause iām the quiet girl, who draws in the back
i had like two friends in the class
but i remember you, i never said hi
not that i was your type, like i said iām shy
then you dated that one girl, i forget
she was funny and tall and blonde i guess
then you started talking to me on the internetĀ
and at that point it was eighth grade, and you guessed
he was in another 4 classes of mine
and this time, we sat near each other⦠kind ofĀ
the teacher put him there cause he talked a lot
and so him and jah were in the same spot
as i was the table in the corner i chose
to be away from all those middle school hoes
so we became friends and me and mixed tape talked more
we talked every night until like fucking 4Ā
in the morning and then weād go to school and not say
much to each other during the day
then one day you were like hey
whats you're music tasteĀ
i said country and you died insideĀ
then the next day in class you handed me a surpriseĀ
i went home and played the cd you gave to me
peal jam, alice in chains, tool, armor for sleep
and all these rock groups i just fell in love with
my music taste changed i became a rock chick
and it felt so right, country never really did
i found a part of myself that i didn't know existed
fast forward through a bunch of shit like that
becoming friends having class together in fact
we didnāt see each other much of 9th grade at all
then in 10th grade i kept seeing him in the hall
and i hung out with him in between class
i don't even remember how we started that
but we just started talking again
and then we became hella good friends
and i told you i liked you
and then all of a sudden we became
aĀ āthingā a couple we went on a date
we hung out at barnes and nobles for our dates
we played uno for hours on our dates
we hung out at my house once for a date
you kissed me, my first kiss on our date
in the foyer of a book store on a dateĀ
then i got really stupid, i don't know why
for some reason i was like⦠never mind
and i fucked it all up and just like, said bye
and i spent the rest of the year and high school not saying
a single more thing to him since like that day
and we texted a little, weāve talked since then
but i still look back and regret
how i handled things, and the friendship lostĀ
but i know we cool now, i remember we talked
senior year of high school you came and visitedĀ
and we hung out for a little and it was pleasant
