I FEEL LIKE CRYING!

I FEEL LIKE CRYING!


Sometimes I want to cry but,
Like smiling then I feel,
When I think how ignorant,
My love is of my zeal.

I have no dearth of boy friends
Who praise me to the sky.
They try to please me so much,
Heaven and earth they try.

Their ways are but pretentious
And cannot charm my heart.
I want to be understood,
I care not if they’re smart.

Alas, my friend is so shy,
As often true of nerds.
I’m only waiting for his
Three simple magic words.
