you're incredibly naive to think this is only a girl thing. but it was written fairly well even though i think it's a crock.

This is more a symptom of the human condition than a girl thing...but nicely written.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
