for instance those boys that pestered me at high school
they weren’t particularly atrocious,
just should have washed more and cussed less,
if i found out one of them was longing for me,
was keeping my photos close to his heart,
was muttering my name in his sleep,
if i found out they pined and sighed and yearned
I’d be creeped out
At the very least I’d be weirded out

if i found out they wrote poetry, I might rethink.
Actually—I take it back.
