He Won’t

As foolish and uncalled for as it is,

I wrote this verse with you and me in mind.

So run away with me; get in the car.

My note of explanation has been signed.

There’s kismet, but if you have bigger plans

I’ll drop the world and follow after you.

Or we’ll fly south and work on killer tans–

whatever we decide we want to do.

I’m stupid, ’cause you’re not even in love.

We kissed–so what? You’d rather not recall.

The both of us could use a loving shove,

a body in the pit to break our fall.

You’ll find the guy who’s perfect just for you,

and him… I hope he’ll write you sonnets, too.
