PART1
The first boy I fell for was like something out of a high school dream
Chiseled facial structure, baby blues eyes, and part of the basketball team
However, foolish little ol’ me fell for the wrong guy
He was a gorgeous Ken, but also a bully in disguise

So onto the next one my naive feelings went
Still not out of the closet, living in there, free from rent
The next individual that fell upon my gaze
Had bleach blonde hair and often left my feelings in a haze
For we were friends since childhood, a twin so fraternal
A delusional infatuation of mine that turned out not to be eternal

The following boy was an eloquent one, an individual so kind
The infatuation lasting like a race, but I was always pacing behind
His eyes were brown and trusting, his skin was so tan
There was so much humor and integrity that I saw in this man
Whoever would lock him down would be one lucky woman
He was a “Jack of All Trades” in my eyes, the greatest showman

The last boy of my high school years would roll in through a monsoon
But when my internal storm would settle down, all I would see is his gorgeous ocean blues
For this was the year I knew my facade would be laid to rest
As depression, anxiety, and coming out of the closet became the real test
Always one to listen, his bright red love was quite a rare find
He was a genuine person that made sure nobody ever felt left behind
But walls of my own making would be built on one side
An ocean I placed between us, as I got swept away by the tide

PART 2
Marooned, I found myself alone in my next chapter
A huge university, rambunctious sport chants, and witty...
