Nebula -

When I first found you, my heart hit the ceiling

You made me forget that, my heart was still healing

Concealing anxiety, you’re like a bomb in the ocean

Disrupting waves causing commotion

She’s like the blues in the sky

The hue of her eyes would assume that I’d shy away

But there’s no time to waste, I’m in a dire strait

The fire of my desire to win you over

Will grow colder if I let it blow over

So for a moment I put heartbreak in a coma

I fantasize of a life in which I grow bolder

Ask you out on date, you would say «no» first

I snap out of my daydream, regain my composure

My stomach smolders a I walk over to introduce myself first

The butterflies in the room soon disperse

I said

«Hi, my name is Joey.

I noticed that you were holding

A case for an instrument.

I’m a musician and

I was wondering what you play before I head the other way»

She said

«Hi, I’m Alexa.

Not trying to vex ya, I

Play the guitar, for fun, it’s pretty hard

But nice to meet you Joey

I probably should get going

I’ve got to get to the elevator

I’ll see you around later»

Then it turned out that we had physics together

On days that it stormed we talked of inclement weather

Eventually got close enough to ask her to homecoming

She said, «sure» I could feel the end of the «zone» coming

But unfortunately on the night of the dance

She had to cancel her plans

She wasn’t feeling well, so then my feelings fell

Into a healing well, she didn’t show up for days, leaving me in a daze

I couldn’t focus, then hocus pocus she reappeared

Her «sickness» was worse than I feared

She apologized for missing the night

I said, «it's alright»

Things got back to normal after the scare

I wanted to ask her out, but I was too scared

So I came up with a cool questionnaire

I asked her, «What's your favorite food to eat?»

She said, «Nothing with noodles please.»

I asked, «Where are you from?»

She said, «I'm from the city, you bum»

I asked, «What's your favorite type of music?»

She said, «I like to sing when I can choose it.»

I asked, «What's your favorite color?»

guessing her reply in my head

She said, «My favorite color is red»

So then I told her my feelings (feelings, my feelings, feelings)

She said, «Joey at this time, I’m still 'healing'.

I love you as a friend and I

hope you take value in that.»

And I did, but it felt like all the value just spat

Back in my face, I was a disgrace for ignoring the signs

She said, «my favorite color is red.

How about you?»

I looked down in disappointment, my favorite color was blue

And that’s the story of what happens

When you love someone, but that someone

Doesn’t

Love

You
