Mind your own business

Some people just don’t get it

They say to you things like

“What ever happened with you and Josie?” (or whoever)

As if something between you and Josie (or whoever)

Was SUPPOSED to happen

In what universe?

You’d have to ask them

cos it ain’t mine.

“What ABOUT me and Josie?” (or whoever)

“Oh, I just thought you had a thing”

“What, cos I got off with her once?”

“I just thought I could see it happening”

“Nah.”

Now

this person still thinks they’re on to something

despite the fact

you’ve told them explicitly

they’re wrong.

They’ll go away

still thinking

Something could’ve happened

Between you and Josie (or whoever)

 

Sometimes I want to put the issue to bed

Right there and then

Make sure they know

For God damn certain

That a relationship between me and Josie (or whoever)

Could never

Ever

Have happened.

List the reasons

I don’t fancy her that much

Our conversations are generic and stilted

Her text messages are yawn inspiring

I couldn’t fully respect a girl

Who can’t see she’s overweight.

I couldn’t trust her to wear decent clothes in social situations

I’d be ashamed to introduce her to my brothers

I’d never introduce her to my parents

She breathes like she might be unhealthy

She wears clompy shoes

Her posture could be better

And I cant prove it

But I think she might be racist.

 

“But you got on so well that night”

Oh forget it.
