February 14th leftovers were in our apartment complex’s pool and that reminded me of a favorite song:

Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you’re underwater
Hair’s too long and in your eyes
Your lips a perfect suck-me size
You act like you’re fourteen years old
Everything you say is so obnoxious, funny, true and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen
