Remember
Now remembering the days
When we spent most of class
in the dusty hallways
Now remembering the days
When someone caught us…
then we were speechless, embarassed…
Now I look back at everything
that happened
Now I look back and smile
wishing I can hug you just once more…
Sadly, without one word
you moved away….
I tried looking for you
in the hallways
Wondering if we are still friends
wondering why you are not in the halls
wondering why you can’t be there anymore…
Then one day,
you appeared,
outta nowhere
with your friend
who has a lotta hair
some other gangsters
and skateboarders….
You smiled
told me that you moved
said sorry
for not telling me
promise that
you will come back and visit…
Time by time,
you will appear outside
my classroom door
And sometimes,
you will appear
somewhere in the dusty halls…
Then I haven’t you in a year
my friends tell me
you do drugs and a lot of stuff
it made my heart tear
because we used to be so close together…
Yet, you appeared on my birthday
as if it was a surprise present
Without thinking for another second
I threw my arms around you
as you said happy birthday
You asked me about my life
but I kept looking into your eyes
Wondering when I will see you again…
I wanted to talk for a little longer
Your friends with blue and green hair
looked very annoyed and they stared
At the asian girl and the gangster…
So you told me happy birthday again
and that you’ll visit when you can…
It has been another year
I wonder if you will still visit…
A month ago,
I was thinking about our freshmen year
As my car stopped in front of a traffic light
I looked outside and stared
You were crossing the road with another gangster
It made me smile,
cuz I get to see you again…
THe traffic light turned green
and I continued to look back
trying to safe the image of you
in the back of my head
Maybe two weeks ago,
I saw you again.
You were on solano
Yet I was in my car…
I hope one day,
You will visit again
And tell me that we are still friends
Even though we are not close anymore
I just want to know where you are
And I will see you again.
Now I remember the days
when we spent most of class
in the dusty hallways…

No, I don’t like him. don’t worry, I am not a fickle person…

I shot her my warmest smile
I wondered if I am lying to her
I wondered if I hate her
I wondered if I am happy for her
or if I am sorry for her.
She looked at me and smiled back
She probably knows my past
Yet, she probably thinks that she’s the best
She has to be kidding herself.
Yet, we act like we are old friends.
She probably thinks that
I want to steal her boyfriend
I asked her if she wants to play a game
and I grabbed my racket
and she grabbed hers
And the fun begins
She aimed the ball at me,
trying to hit my face
or maybe my chest
She is trying so hard
to hurt me with the ball
but I just hit the ball back lightly
less energy than it would take
to kill an ant
I smiled at her as I hit the ball back
But she smashed it at me again
(no, baby, I am not trying to steal your boyfriend)
I hit the ball back lightly
Yet, she is stubborn and she doesnt understand
She smashed the ball again….
Of course, I wouldn’t let her hurt me…
But I didn’t hit it back
Because the ball hit the net…
(oh, stupid girl, I am not trying to steal your boyfriend)
She smiled warmly
She flipped her long and dry hair
that looked like a bunch of straw together
But I really don’t care.
I know what I look like
And I know I look better…
Just wanted to tell her that
I don’t want her boyfriend
So she would stop smashing with the ball
Because she has the strength of a man
I will actually get hurt under her hands
Just wanted to tell her that
I don’t want her boyfriend
Because I am not even jealous
And I deserve someone so much better
So please, I wanted her to back off
Because I know that she’ll suffer much more
when the time comes…
Yet, I dont tell her that she’ll suffer,
Instead, I smile at her warmly.
While she is still trying to smash the ball at me….
I wonder if she hates me.

I miss you.

Having a tomboy for a girlfriend is like having a gay guy as your boyfriend.
