Do you remember

When I gave you those chocolates?

Do you remember

How nervous I was?

How shaky my voice was?

How my hands couldn't hold the box right?

How I couldn't look you in the eye?

How my friends laughed at me from behind?

How I ran out of the room

In the complete opposite direction

That my class was in

Because I was so disoriented

by your voice?

Did you even eat the chocolates?

Did you feel bad

Sending your friend to go turn me down

So that your sorry ass

Didn't have to say anything?

Did you even care?

Did you ever care...?

Did you know

That I never expected you

To say yes?

Yet somehow it still hurt

When he told me you said no.
