Real Boy

And after all this

I’m still just a kid on the internet

All I do is write about the men I’d like to meet

Fantasies I had one night

The only real boy I met

Was back when I was only fifteen

He was born and raised in the depths of Indiana

He always thought so highly of me

We liked all the same poppy music

We only wanted to be held

And in that time I swear I lived a life in cartoon motion

But everything that was will melt

We talked about when we would meet

How exactly we would have our embrace

We joked about who’s taller and how we would one day lie

But I only had to see your face

Sometimes you didn’t write back

Days on end you left me dark

The only thing I wanted was a word the other way

I fear I may have tried too hard

I know that this will pass

This barrier will be brought down

One day we’ll see each other without counting all the pixels

But when that is I cannot know

One day we’ll see each other without counting all the pixels

But when that is I cannot know
