Date Rejected (feat. Number5)

“She asked him out—and got ghosted by the calendar itself!”

Sent the text, “Wanna go out?”

Heart was screaming, full of doubt

Waited for that magic ping

Got a “Sorry, not my thing”

“She dropped the courage—and picked up a rejection receipt!”

I played cool, tried not to break

But my screen began to shake

Smiled in chat, cried on read

Confidence is now half-dead

Date rejected, hope went flat

Confidence? Deleted that

Please try later—what a blow

How’d you curve me with a “no”?

“She got denied like a download at 2%!”

Checked the message one more time

Analyzed it line by line

Was it me, the vibe, the day?

Why’d he have to say it that way?

“Romantic connection? FAILED TO LAUNCH!”

Played it back in mental loops

Fell through hope like crashing roofs

He said “maybe,” meant “not now”

I just whispered “teach me how”

Date rejected, I confessed

Now I’m spiraling at best

Please try later—what’s the time?

When do feelings get to climb?

“She sent ‘Let’s hang’—he sent ‘I’m busy forever!’”

All my crush just hit the floor

Typed in love, he closed the door

I don’t hate him, that’s the crime

He just never read the rhyme

Now I laugh, but not for joy

I’m the girl, he’s just a boy

Thought we synced, thought we clicked

Turns out I misread the script

“She asked for Friday. He replied with ‘lol maybe next year!’”

One “no thanks” hit like a dart

Straight into my fragile heart

Should’ve known he’d miss the clue

But rejection still feels new

Date rejected, tears in queue

Confidence? I wish I knew

Please try later—love’s offline

Guess the courage wasn’t mine

Try again

In another life

Or maybe…
