If I Were a Boy...

I don't think I'd be much different than I am now...
If I were a boy, I wouldn't like the games females play, but I'd play along for the right one.
I wouldn't invest too much time or energy on something that wasn't worthwhile.
I wouldn't let my friends tell me who I should like, and I wouldn't let people I like tell me who my friends should be...
I would love to be expressive and in tuned with my emotions and feelings, but honestly, if I were a boy I'd be trying to stay more in tuned with the feelings and emotions of the right one.
If I were a boy, I would watch football much more often than I do, and dribble a ball every now and then.
If I were a boy, I would tell you...
I know that I would have to, because guys don't have the luxury of hoping she'll come around.
They know that they have to go for it, and if its too late and they miss their chance, then they'll regret it forever.
If I were a boy, I would look you in your eyes, and try to see more than what you want me to see because I would think that's the way to figure you out.
If I were a boy, I would play it cool and nonchalant when you told me what I've been waiting to hear since I first met you.
If I were a boy, I probably would put myself first, but thats only because that is the best way to avoid pain.
If I were a boy you would never have the chance to get over me because I would resurface at the most inconvenient of times, with the most irresistible of smiles, and expect you to accept it.
If I were a boy I would be the wrong boy, who's right on paper, but no one takes the time to read the fine print so I'd get away with it all..
If I were a boy, I wouldn't waste time trying to figure out the perfect way to say this or that because whatever I would say, you'd get the point...
If I were a boy, I would definitely want my cake, and to eat it too. And I quite possibly could have that...for a while.
If I were a boy, I wouldn't let you know but I'd be nervous all the time, and ask you if you were so we could have something in common.
If I were a boy...I'd make myself clear. I wouldn't be cryptic, poetic, or even epic.
If I were a boy...you would know how I feel.
But I'm not a boy...

Alas, if tomorrow, I wake up, wash my face and feel stubble...
you'll be the first to know...

I promise.
