there’s something

different

when u see a boy

dressed all nice,

browsing a bookstore

like he’s interested.

not focused on his phone

or flirting with the blonde employee.

~

there’s something

special

when u see a boy

reading a classic

and not a dry romance.

instead he’s brushing up on his

mr. darcy.

any boy who admires darcy

is waving green flags

all around.

~

u know he’s the one if he pulls a

c.s. lewis

off the spiritual shelf.

he’s undecided and he’s adorable:

which will he buy—

the screw tape letters

or

mere christianity?

u want to help him decide

but would that be too

serious

before even knowing his name?

after all,

u can’t discuss the screw tape letters

without knowing his name.

but maybe…

u could get to know him

and discover a similar love

of screw tape and wormwood’s

fascinating viewpoints.

~

u are positive that u must be

soulmates

when he buys both

the screw tape letters and mere christianity.

after all, if he’s not the one

then there must be no other one for u.

~

dang, u gotta love those

bookstore boys.
