YOURNAME + MINE


Just because I wrote your name

Thousands of times on my paper

Does NOT mean I like you.

I wrote it for a gain,

and if you had looked closer,

you would have noticed I only wrote YOUR name.

Not once did I include my own.

Listen!

I’ll shout how that came to be!

I once saw your name written elegantly and thought, "How nice..."

Then, to achieve that state of penmanship, I practiced, using your name,

and that is how my paper exploded with YOURNAME.

Is it because I liked you?

NO!

So, it's your fault that, now,

Because of your idiotic declaration of me possibly liking you

Because you saw your name written thousands of times on my paper,

your face is winking at me inside my head,

making me wonder about the possibility

Of YOURNAME and MINE!
