Ms. Sandoval

by Erizo Li - Scorpio

Ms. Sandoval
What did you do to me?
Why did you have to walk right in front of me
for me to see you?
Now, I can't get you out of my mind
and no matter how hard I try
Your image stays engraved in my memory bank
Wherever I go
There you are
Inside my head

I can remember the first time I ever saw you
like it was yesterday
and to be precise
it was 6.5.00
6 p.m. standard time
All I was expecting to do
was go to class 
and learn about credits and debits
but instead
I've spent the last 5.5 months 
trying to balance my thoughts
ever since you stepped into the picture
and looked at you
I couldn't believe how fine you were
that long dark brown hair
your pretty brown eyes
your perfect bodily tone
shaped to perfection
and for some reason
I knew there was something more to you
than your angelic appearance
There was something about your vibe
that caught my attention
I don't know what it was
I couldn't explain it
All I know is that I couldn't look at
any other girls
No one else existed from that point on
There were no more thoughts of
Hay Guey! That Lucy Liu is so damn fine
or esa Aaliyah esta como quiere
All I could think about was
I can't wait till I see Ms. Sandoval
and she comes around my way

I thought it would be all over by 8.9.00
and I'd never see you again
since I was going to another school
I even prayed to the Lord and said - 
Lord, please let Ms. Sandoval go to my school
Please all mighty
let it happen for me

As soon as 8.28.00 rolls around
it's too good to be true
Praise His Name!
I see you walking around my way
going to class
or on my way out from school
and like a fool
I began to try and spot you in a crowd of thousands
as I approached and began conversating with you
my crush began to multiply
and yet I didn't know why
All I know is that something told me that 
I should maximize the opportunity to go for you
especially since you gave me those crazy feelings
You know
when your brain begins to bounce and thump like bass
that tickle you get in your nose that makes
it hard for you to breathe
and certain songs on the radio that just speak to you
like - 
Musiq's Just Friends (Sunny)
Joy Enriquez's Tell Me How You Feel
and yes
even Wifey by Next
began speaking to me
analyzing every lyric
breaking it down
word for word
only being able to envision you
Now everything was out of control in my head
I could barely focus on my studies
keep my schedule in tact
or even notice my surroundings

But with all this intensity plaguing 
my common sense
I forgot about the typical obstacle
that plagues every single man
when asking out a fine girl
that he digs very much
Yes!
It was the fact you already had a boyfriend
Now I realize that Destiny was fucking with me
Yes, I admit it
I was hella naive
I thought it was my time
but alas, it wasn't
It was back to the drawing board
back to thinking about that Lucy Liu or Aaliyah again

You know
It's now 11.26.00
and I still haven't gotten you out of my head
but little by little
you are fading away
but the one thing I'll never forget
is how you affected me 
and took me on a mental roller coaster ride
no girl ever exclusively caught my attention
the way you did
I don't want to say Thank You
but I won't say Chinga Tu Madre either
I never asked for this
but what happened, happened
and why?
I will never know
but all I know is that
you Ms. Sandoval
controlled my thoughts for nearly half a year
something no girl has ever done
but hopefully next time
for the next Gatinha
it will be longer
much longer
Bye Ms. Sandoval
Au revoir madamemoiselle
C'est tout bien?
C'est ne pas bien?
Je ne se pas?
