i'm what i'd call a

"hopeless romantic."

but i'm mostly hopeless,

and pathetic,

barely romantic.

i'm supposed to be fun

and endearing

and sexy,

but i fall short every time.

because no one wants the awkward kid.

no one wants someone who trips over his own feet

and words.

who bites his tongue when he's wanted.

but is too scared to kiss a girl

after begging her to be alone with him.
