I was 15 and had my first boyfriend. We made out for the first time on a park bench and it was so gross to me. I couldn’t figure out why.
Then I realized I had a way bigger crush on my girl best friend. And the one girl at my work. And ... any girl in the world who wasn’t a human male. I broke up with him at his locker on Valentine’s Day.
That night our school hosted an open mic. I went with my friends. He got up, sat at the school piano, and said, “This is a song about a girl who dumped me on Valentine’s Day.”
