To that gorgeous girl I see walking to class everyday: I want to introduce myself to you, and ask you out for a nice date downtown. I’d bring an expensive bottle of wine, and we’d have a really nice meal. We’d talk about our families, you’d bring up your childhood, and I my unresolved father issues. We would both agree how we’ve never felt closer to one another after one single dinner. I walk you to your dorm, and I wouldn’t be able to take my eyes off of your smile; that smile that lights up even after my dumb jokes. In the blink of an eye our walk comes to an end, and I’d do anything to extend it. You invite me into your room, and we embrace. Neither of us have ever felt closer, our lips touch and sparks fly. We never want to let go, and then...I prematurely ejaculate. Damnit, nevermind.
To M.E.: sucks to suck, sorry, I'm not sorry.
