In my mind I travel back through the years
to when I was in high school.

And I remember when this girl had a crush on me,
but I wasn’t interested in her

until I changed my mind and she vengefully
rejected me for rejecting her when she wanted me.

I found it kind of amusing how she changed her mind
so brutally, but I deserved her rejection

and should have gratefully asked her out when she
had her crush on me.

But, alas, in the greater scheme of things it probably
made no difference

except if I went out with her and she became my never
found soulmate and my wife for life.
