Yes
X's and O's lined the bottom
Yes
Of the valentine I wrote
Yes
You read the thing intently
No
Then you laughed at my note.
Yes
We shared so many interests
Yes
Once talked for six hours on the phone
Yes
I thought we should go further
No
You said I should leave you alone.
Yes
I put my arm around your shoulder
Yes
At the movie we watched so late
Yes
I thought you had a good time
No
Then you said it wasn't a date.
Yes
I thought it could be love
Yes
Better than summertime flings
Yes
But when I wanted to see you
No
You were busy with other things.
Yes
So close I thought I could touch it
Yes
So near I thought I would die
Yes
But I was naïve and had loose lips
No
Now I sit in the darkness and cry.
Yes
Rejection has become cliché
Yes
So much sacrifice for no
Yes
The moment arises once again
Yes
I will never let you go.
