It Matters For No Reason


I want to be high right now

I want more guy couples at my all-guy school.

Would I date a gay guy?

Probably, if he was cute enough,

and nice.

I want guys to touch each other in caring ways.

In elementary school guys think girls have coodies.

In high school, guys think guys have coodies,

they just don't say it.

I want a girl who says

"F Valentine's Day, I'll see you on the 15th."

I want love to be what it is meant to be

Not a prize to be won.

I want to be able to cry,

about anything.

I want people to care.

I want to care.
