Just A Little Crazy

We weren't the oddest couple in our school.
Of course there were the usual pairs,
the populars, sneering at everyone;
the emo kids, who pledged their undying love every second;
the romanticists, who fauned over words and poems;
the mushy couples, who made everyone else uncomfortable;
the smart couples, who only showed emotion when together;
the messed-up, who were never really normal, but loved all the same,
I guess with so many types, I learned a little about love.
I learned that nothing could be predicted.
But when She came up to me one day and asked to ride on my shoulders,
I was understandably offput. I didn't say no, but I did hesitate.
It was a little scary, and I can't describe the embarrassment,
dropping to one knee and closing my eyes tightly while she climbed on.
Honestly, she wasn't that heavy, but she nearly knocked me over.
Guys tend to fall when the girls give them an upside-down kiss.
Especially awkward, emotional guys who're trying to avoid doorways.
Especially when she chooses the MIDDLE of lunch to do it,
when everyone is walking between classes,
watching as the "weird couple" reaches new heights ( pun intended )
And Especially when said awkward guy is trying NOT to think,
not to think about holding onto her legs.
Not to think about how warm she is,
Not to think about where exactly she was
where I was relative to her.
What  pressed against. my shoulders and neck.
I suffered in silence, wishing I could melt for real.
but I endured.
not wanting to let her go, not wanting to hurt her feelings.
I had to give in after Lunch. She made me carry her for an HOUR.
I wouldn't let her off so easily. After she told me I could stop,
I grabbed her, and spun her around,
slinging her over my shoulder,
Until I was carrying her, bridal pose.
Even though My arms and back hurt,
I let her know how much I cared about her,
sending all of those emotions through my embrace.
Then it was her turn to blush.
She'd been happily waving and smiling,
not embarrassed in the least,
while I'm positive she could've felt my face through the fabric between us.
Which thinking of only made me blush harder,
until we were just standing there,
blushing at each other silently.
Until someone, blessed may they be,
walked by and grumbled to themselves,
"Just kiss her already..." What can I say,
If anything, I am obedient.
And It's not like she complained.
She let me carry her between all of her classes,
and, I realized then,
maybe we were both Just a little Crazy.
