The By This Date,Date

Win a date with Tad Hamilton.

I don’t know that I should be watching this,

Fearful that I may become depressed,

That it is not me with a date -

Famous or otherwise.

I hit flashback to something more substantial,

More objective, more emotionally safe

National Geographic, a documentary about bears

Yet, after about two minutes,

The approximate length of commercial airtime,

I hit flashback on the remote control,

Back to Win a Date with Tad Hamilton,

Oh no. Oh yes.

Oh I wish I could be the girl in the movie,

A romantic plot set to the provocative music of John Meyer

I find myself smiling. Smiling at no one. Smiling alone.

Smiling at Tad and Rosalie, wishing it were me and … …

One day I’ll win a date with my own Tad,

And He’ll want all my goodness to rub off on him,

Just like in the movie.

In real life, I patiently await my first date

That marks the last of all dates,

Yet which begins a journey of many first dates,

Exclusively getting to know some singular Tad Hamilton,

Maybe in a dream, maybe on a date, maybe by 8/8/08!
