"I've never asked a girl out."
He threw it out there,
like the opening pitch at Fenway,
the only ball I've ever caught,
with a less than incredulous look.

Why should he?
He must have the girls flocking to him
chasing him down
wanting to get a piece
of the beauty that he is.

And he is beautiful
with that perfect tan
and so considerate
but with a smart-ass side
to balance it out.

He's been hurt
kicked around
beaten down
and he's so nice
you can't help but feel
that he might just
bring it on himself.

I like to think that
I could treat him better.
But he's never asked a girl out,
and the man in my closet
laughs maniacally
because he knows
that I can't be the one to ask.
