I listen to love songs
*I listen to love songs*
After "it" happens
"It" being the thing I'm writing about
I go through a process
A procedure more like it
Kind of like a work out
A routine of heartbreak
A custom like yams at thanksgiving
A habit like shaking my leg continuously and not knowing
A schedule like everyday classes or always watching soaps
A practice like preparing for a tournament or a test
The test of my strength in love
Now I can't really call it "heartbreak"
You can only use that term unless you have been in love
Which I haven't
Occasionally I'll get a sort of glimmer in my eyes
But that doesn't mean anything
Sometimes ill just think of "that one time" and giggle in class
But who doesn't
From time to time I'll play with my bottom lip pretending it was his
I don't know anyone who doesn't do that
Now and then I will notice things that carry his sent
I know a few that do that
Every so often I'll catch my self thinking about him with out really knowing.
Who doesn't!?
But that's not love
I don't know what it is
But it's not love
Everyone goes through "it" at one point
Were only human
The thing that really gets me is knowing he isn't doing any of the things I just listed above
It's sad but true
I used to think he was coldhearted or a robot
But now I have come to the conclusion that he to strong
To robust for love
To strapping for meaningful sex
To brawny for sappy loving words
To well-built for romance
To hard-wearing for sorrowful tears
He is like superman of love
He could lift two tons of beating hearts
He is stronger than me
After "it" occurs
I go through these steps:
Step 1. Stare in to the oblivion and curse under breath
Step 2. Talk to myself in the mirror while applying as much make up I can
Step 3. Search for imperfections and try to fix them
Step 4. EAT. A LOT. MAINLY CHOCOLATE. (crossing out step 3)
Step 5. Watch tons of romantic movies (why? I don't fuckin know)
Step 6. Pretend to make out with very attractive men from those movies
Step 7. Long hot bath and dirty thoughts happen
Step 8. Start the continuous wishing. Any chance I get
Step 9. Cast love spells or poke voodoo doll
Step 10. Read Cosmo and wish that I could try the sex moves on him and then say "his loss" but really it's not
Step 11. Friends tell you how great you are and how you can do so much better. I nod my head and take it all in
Step 12. Design a work out plan but never see to it
Step 13. Cuddle up to a random dog in my house and cry
Step 14. Try and change my look convincing myself I'm not attractive enough
Step 15. Listen to love songs
It happens every time
And I'm just now noticing it
"It" is difficult to explain
Everyone has a different way of dealing with "it"
I'm not sure if mine is the best way
But it's ok because in order to experience "it" id have to be in love
And I'm not
So why did I just write this?
