Today when you laughed
You tossed your head forward
while I threw mine back.
We are ever in sync but
always in the opposite direction.

The first word I ever heard you
utter was “serenity”
Which is exactly what I do not feel
You keep me on the edge of my seat,
constantly longing for you to point
and pick me to be yours.

You are everything my body
says to run from, but
my soul whispers “Go ahead. Every good girl
needs a bad boy.”

So I’ll let you sink your teeth into me;
dangerous, but dangerously sweet.

This boy is one I like to call #2. He's the second boy I've fallen for since I began writing again and he is sought after by many. I have no chance, but I can't help myself. (Ironically, he is also #2 on the football team.)
