I’ve Learned

i have learned…
to never judge a yahoo profile
by its weed references.
thank god i really didn’t know
what “toking” was, or else
i might have never messaged you.

i have learned…
to never get pissed when chatting
because the girl you are trying to get to know
is being standoffish and bitchy
she’s just testing you out
because she suspects you’re a guy.

i’ve learned that it’s okay
to let a person call you
after a week of chatting because
it could lead to countless nights
of hours of talking and laughing
about everything then
hanging up the phone in sunrise hours
to trip into dirty jeans and a t-shirt
yawn through the morning commute
stumble into work
then snore happily in your car
during your lunch break
clutching the phone in your hand
just in case she calls you again.

i have learned never to take the words
“i don’t want to have a relationship”
personally.
just do your best to help heal the wound
that some angelic
or lying
bitches left
by loving her like she’s never been
loved before and watch her
walls come down and the love
grow and flow freely.

i have learned
NEVER, EVER EVER
have a rum & coke
gin & tonic
3.5 regular tequila shots
and one
hot ass body shot
plus 2 nyquil at the end of it all
and expect to feel like anything but shit
in the morning.

i have learned to always give
a second and third chance.
and a fourth if necessary.

i have learned that it is possible
to be touched on the inside parts
with one, even two fingers
and not feel like your body
is being torn into 2.

i have learned that
tongue rings do make a difference.
and so does ice.
now, explain halls to me again?

i have learned that it is possible
to strain your tongue muscle.

i have learned that truly
love sees no color
age
religion
belief
or musical preference.
love only sees the heart
and all it finds in mine
is you.

thank you teacher.
