Romance for teens

‘’Twas the perfect recipe for a teenage love affair,
Nerd girl, jock boy, a little angst - maybe an airport kiss?
Not one for half-baked plans, romcoms helped me prepare.

Did all my calculations, decided what to wear -
At the party he was with another, I shudder as I reminisce.
‘’Twas the perfect recipe for a teenage love affair. 

Seth’s strays entered the picture, and caught me unaware. 
A Bombay girl shifted cities, rendered the recipe amiss.
Not one for half-baked plans, romcoms helped me prepare.

The girl-boy dynamics shifted, heteronorms beware!
Two nerdy girls, words unsaid, feelings dismissed, 
‘’Twas the perfect recipe for a teenage love affair. 

Lost in her gaze, it was hard to come up for air,
Boards, ‘what will they say’s, made it a short-lived bliss.
Not one for half-baked plans, romcoms helped me prepare - 

Yet I didn’t follow through, didn’t want to lose what was rare. 
Went our separate ways, at times I rue the abyss.
‘’Twas the perfect recipe for a teenage love affair,

Not one for half-baked plans, romcoms helped me prepare.
