THE BAD NERD BOY
where, alack,
Shall time’s best jewel from time’s chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
O, none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
It was Shakespeare’s Sonnet 65. I smiled, and I could feel my heart warm because of this.
Who knew he was so romantic and thoughtful?
Without wasting any time, I grabbed my jacket and purse and headed out.
