It’s Not Just A Phase
I think I would know

“I’ve got this girl I really want you to meet,
her name is Maria, she’s a real treat.”
It exploded out of my mouth in a burst,
Her look of disappointment hurt the worst.
“I thought I might ask her to the dance next week…”
I didn’t break eye contact until she turned her cheek.
My own mother disapproved of my crush,
As I waited for her answer, my face was flush
I whispered, “so, what do you say mom?”
She replied, “It’s just a phase honey, you can’t take a girl to prom.”
