Gargoyle

I can’t believe I could be so stupid.
So blind to everything
So unobservant

He was just my friend
How could I know
He could be that way

He had a girlfriend
But did they really love each other
Or was it just for show

I wanted him
Badly
Dreadfully

I didn’t think he liked me
I didn’t think I’d see him again
I didn’t thing I loved him

But I was wrong
So wrong
Happily wrong

Over the summer
What happened then
Why’d they split

We came back
I saw him in homeroom
My new favorite time

I learned they’d split
I didn’t do anything
Why would he like me

On that happy day
October 7th
After much prodding

My friends all told me
He would ask me out
And he did

My hands were shaking
And it was so awkward afterward
Till we entered the building

I remember the conversation
Rockets in our noses
And what would happen

I was just his friend
Another brick on his wall
But I became his gargoyle
