Flirting

By ED (SWEY)

It began on MySpace

Told them to put me on their top

But a week later I got taken off

Sent her a request to get it in with her

I use these networks cuz I'm not good with words

I don't know how communication works

Behind the keyboard I talk like a savior

When we meet me in person I act like a stranger

I would say hey with a smiley face

You asked me

About my day

Called me cutie

I said boring, do you wanna hang?

You said no?

I had no game

I couldn't pull chicks

No one knew my name

I wasn't slick

I commended them on their accessories

How they looked extra pretty that day

How dazzling their eyes were in the sunlight 0

Ironic how my worst flaw was being too nice

I didn't have pick up lines

Unexpectedly, I find myself online socializing

Receiving numbers left and right

Texted them until I was their last goodnight

This was my flirting this was my flirting

It was strange striking a conversation face face

I'll try texting hello good looking

We give each other edgy eyes waiting for one of us to say the first hi

It's never spoken or gestured

I texted you at lunch to make sure you saw me

Maybe it was your twin

Later that night we played 21 questions

Everything was fine till you asked "what do you think about me?"

I said

"I don't want you to think I'm creepy....

You're the prettiest girl in this grade"When I look into your eyes I get lost like a maze

Any guy would be lucky enough to have you."

You said "awe thank you so much! You're so sweet! how late are you staying up? I want to keep talking"

The next day we stared at one another

There were no approaches

Just faces toward the opposite way

We didn't end up being a couple cuz making the first step wasn't worth the trouble

The feelings were congruent but the signs you put up caused miscommunications

The internet catches our emotions in its net

I don't believe the media helps eitha me or anyone

That's how I spat my game

With many

Thought the web would make entrances easy

It was puddy in my hands but I didn't take advantage

I'll disable my profiles and vanish

This was my flirting(8x)

I was so dependent on technology to do the work for me

I forgot how to converse with words in person

Hoping this is where it stops cuz if it doesn't it'll get worse
