kid at heart

one time
in fifth grade
there was a boy
that i
liked
his name was
chris
and he had
hair the color
of fire
and oh boy
did he set
my tiny little
kid heart
ablaze
and i could
tell
i could
tell
he liked me
too
and he asked
one day
"who
do you like?"
and he guessed:
"josh?"
no
"matt?"
no
"jp?"
no
and i was
a fool
and he asked:
"me?"
and i said
no
and i was
a fool
and even to this day
i am still
a fool
