My Crush Was A
MONSTER BOY
My crush, the animal caretaker,
was an exchange student and latchkey kid;
the rumor my classmates fixated on
was that he walked home all alone
All assembled under the summer sky,
we said our last goodbye of July,
All assembled under the summer sky,
and, wanting to talk with him some,
I followed him
on his way home
Past his house, along the river,
through a grove of trees...
buying ice cream at the candy store -
just where are you going?
On a vacant lot on a hill,
overlooking
the town,
having followed my crush,
I witnessed his secret
The popsicle thrown into the air,
it was
devoured
by a giant
maw;
the boy I had
a crush on...
was raising a monster!
As summer vacation
was starting,
he called out with resolve:
"Keep this a super,
duper,
forever secret?"
We agreed and pinky-promised...
Running over fields,
swimming in the river -
it was you,
me,
it was you,
me,
it was you,
me,
and the monster
it was you,
me,
and the monster
I talked endlessly with you,
backed by
an unforgettable sunset sky...
Eating melted ice cream
and laughing over it with a snort,
that summer-suited crush
made my heart flutter...
We held each other's hands,
and got close,
but just then!
the boy I had
a crush on...
was eaten
by his monster!
...Come to think of it, today's
the last day of summer vacation.
...Come to think of it, today's
the last day of summer vacation.
I heard your voice. And the monster laughed.
Laughing with your voice, it stuck its hand out to me.
Hey, wait! Is it really you?
Yes! It's really me!
You and I joined hands, ready for our first day of second term.
It resounded through the school,
all kinds of crying and shouting;
the school was all for us now,
and my heart
began to pound...
Just as we arrived on campus,
the sports meet began;
on the sound of the pistol,
on your mark, get set,
and run!
In this obstacle course,
let's shoot for first place;
as we eat our ice cream,
where shall we go next?
The popsicle thrown into the air, it was devoured by a giant maw.
The boy I'm crushing on...
is a monster boy!
