My heart cracked
when I found out
she lived
a half a world away.
What a funny time we live in
when you can develop a crush
on someone who lives
a half a world away.
I guess there is also the chance
that behind that picture
of dark hair, sexy lips,
and come get me eyes
is a middle aged fat man
somewhere in Ohio
wearing not so tidy-whities
and eating cheese puffs.
Hold the reality.
I’ll have a double shot
of fantasy.
Being a romantic
really sucks sometimes.
