Obnoxious Thoughts and Ungranted Wishes

to the boy by the lamp post

by the lamp post was the place where i first met you
we were both fifteen but i thought you were twenty-two
it was a beautiful spring day
and i thought you were as beautiful as May

on your lips was a melting smile
that made my heart beat like i ran a mile
you got me tongue-tied and captivated
so much that i just stared at you and got my time wasted

but guess what?
the next day and the day after that
at the lamp post where we first met i waited
just to see your smile that got me addicted

i waited but you weren't there, my dear
and when you finally were,
it just cost me a tear

for in your arms was another girl
and all i wanted was to coil and curl

day by day, i bawl my eyes out
when i remember the two of you mouth to mouth

but there was something about your smile
for by the lamp post where we first met i wait from while to while

z.d.s.
