Ice Cream Social
Has it really been a whole year
Since I forced myself to attend a social
When I wanted to be anything but?
I hoped to see your face and hoped you would
Give me the little nudge I needed to act
You gave me an awkward wave and nothing more
Yet now…
Has it really been a whole week
That I told you how much better off I am
With you in my life?
You nudge me when I need nudging
Avoid me when I need avoiding
I’m a temperamental little shit, yet there you are
Cool, calm and collected
Has it really been a whole day
That I told you how much I love you
How truly special you are to me?
Timing has never been my forte
Yet there you are, by my side
Being anti-social right along with me
Has it really only been an hour
Since the last damn social?
Okay, okay I’ll stop
Such sentimentality will make you blush, possibly puke
But some things need to be said
No it’s okay, I’ll go upstairs and get the nausea pills
Let me take care of you, for once

That’s a crackerjack answer to an interesting question
i wish i had a sister to steal from, especially if her closet had cute dresses like that! i love that pattern on it- and the cut of the neckline. it looks so sweet and vintage!
I love the way the poem speaker turns on himself. Perfect title.
I love everything about this poem!
We detifinely need more smart people like you around.
So that’s the case? Quite a revelation that is.
You’re so interesting! I do not believe I’ve read through
anything like that before. So nice to find another person with some genuine thoughts on this subject
matter. Seriously.. thank you for starting
this up. This site is something that is required
on the web, someone with a little originality!
