Sixth grade fail

Aaron. In sixth grade he wanted to be my boyfriend. He lived around the corner from me. I was reminded of him because of Serra's drama. Serra is dating and she was recently discussing with me how uncomfortable she felt around a certain guy. This is not a new topic for us. I wish Serra knew how to be more assertive. I worry she won't be able to communicate her feelings of NO and she'll be in a situation she doesn't know how to get out of. And that is why I remembered Aaron.

He took me to his house once. We went to his room. He closed the door. I didn't think much of that. He started to play Boyz II Men. Loudly. This is when he started to profess his love to me. See Amy freak out. See Amy run. Just like a Dick and Jane book. Outside I could still hear his music. His admission love echoed across the pavement. I could not wait to get home. I was seriously freaked out.

I think what most guys mistake for passion comes out as aggression. I need a guy to be assertive, not lavish and certainly not indulgent. This was an absolute fail. Maybe this is why sixth graders shouldn't date.

"On Bended Knee"
by Boyz II Men

Darlin' I can't explain
Where did we lose our way
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
To prove my love to you
If you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

So many nights I dreamt
Holding my pillow tight
I know that I don't need to be alone
When I open up my eyes
To face reality
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

I'm gonna swallow my pride
Say I'm sorry
Stop pointing fingers the blame is on me
I want a new life
And I want it with you
If you feel the same
Don't ever let it go
You gotta believe in the spirit of love
It'll heal all things
It won't hurt any more
No I don't believe our love's terminal
I'm down on my knees begging you please
Come home

Can we go back to the days our love was strong
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong
Can somebody tell me how to get things back
The way they used to be
Oh God give me a reason
I'm down on bended knee
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I'm down on bended knee

Wanna build a new life
Just you and me
Gonna make you my wife
Raise a family
