when you were little there were
lots
of them,
crammed into pink
boxes. you always wondered if
you'd get
enough.
you wondered if the boy with the
funny hair or the girl
with the
bad teeth
would get
any. so you made sure
they did.
you worried which ones
to buy,
how many,
did you count right?
should you get funny
or cute or
the comic book
ones? what do boys
want? why is it so hard
to
know?
you find a special
heart. all big and red
and
pink
and
white
and
BIG.
you say, someday,
maybe,
i will get one
like
this. someone will see it
and me
and fall in
REAL LOVE.
and then,
suddenly,
someday
comes.
