i promise myself
that tomorrow i will make that call

it's not so much the physical aspect
of picking up my phone
and dialing the numbers
1-4o1-569-o**6
it's the fear that the person on the other line
will want nothing to do with what i'm proposing
(which is not marriage, as you may have thought)

it's also the thought
that I may be too late
in my endeavor
and she will have already had the question asked
and she will have answered with an affirmitive.

all in all
i hate high school social functions
that require a date
