Dream Boy
Dream Boy
by Mae Anne Cortez
Cocky and arrogant,
Cool and mysterious,
He’s my dream boy
Hair like a raven’s
Wears black and green, never any other color
A smile on his face as he passes by me
When he calls my name, I try to act normally
He’s my dream boy
Once in my life, never out
Someone told me,
“He likes you. Do you?”
Glancing at him, he has that stupid smirk on his face!
In embarrassment, my cheeks went red as a cherry
He’s my dream boy
Every night, I dream of him
I wonder if he does too
No one in his dreams, no one else
But only me
He’s my dream boy
