Analysis of You Confuse Me



Days of erasing the letter
Js of your name that you write all over the white board.
Today Abby joined, which made me sad but relieved.
And when you told you would write
A J on my hand so I couldn't erase it
I almost died inside, you have no idea.
I love you, but I love someone else too.
Why do you do this to me??
Why do you make me so confused?
You asked me if I was doing good,
And then tried to write the first letter of your name
On my blank hand.
You like me, I can tell.
But I don't really know how strong my feelings are for you.
I love you, I think.
Oh, how you confuse me.

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
