What Fools These Mortals Be!

So i was cleaning out my room this afternoon, trashing lots of old mail, sending clothes to the rescue mission etc., when i stumbled upon some "poetry" i wrote in 7th grade...wow. It jolted me back to the years called junior high which, for the sake of everyone's self esteem, should be deleted from all high schoolers' memories. The days of hanging out at the mall, relying on mom and dad for transportation (craig, ben m., you had the right idea :)), puberty, and "going out" are now fresh in my mind. And as ridiculous as it is, i think i need to post one of my love-ridden bombshells here on the blog just to boost everyones daily entertainment by a factor of ten. So here goes.

_____'s Poem {bonus points if u can guess who}
I had never experienced such a thing in my life
I looked into your eyes and forgot all my strife
If you only felt for me as i feel for you
At last in my life, my dreams would come true.

Your laughing gives me joy, and your smile gives me life
and as i said before, i forget all my strife
You are great to be around, and talk to (not on the phone)
But i wish i could get some time with you alone

There are so many girls that i have to choose from
But when i see you, i forget that great large sum
Your beauty surpasses all that i've seen
and your heart is so good, and kind, and clean.

I can only look to God to know if you're the one
Whom i will spend much time with, and have lots of fun
I feel deep down that you just might be
But i am waiting for that moment to know you're for me.

As time passes by, i miss you much more
and not speaking to you makes my throat very sore
But all i can say to you on this night
Is "there's a very special place for you in my heart."


Wow, that was hillarious. In retrospect, i can firmly say that this person is NOT the one :)...please comment on favorite/worst/most hillarious lines and generally make fun of junior highers :). The best part is that i probably thought that was money when i wrote it.
