A POCKET-SIZED GIRLHe keeps me in his pocket for a rainy day; he swears I'm not an object as he yo-yo's me away. A friend is what we'll call it, but my friend, he does not know, each time it rains I love him– so to his pocket, I must go. He thinks he's being clever, but I am not a fool;his love ain't worth a penny, so to my heart I must be cruel. Coco J. Ginger
About This Quote

The two lines in the above poem, "A pocket-sized girl." and "He keeps me in his pocket for a rainy day," are the only two lines in the poem that are usually read. The first line refers to the narrator's secret crush on his best friend. She is too small to be worth talking about, so he keeps it to himself. The second line refers to when she is in her pocket when it rains.

Despite his attempts to say she isn't an object, he can't resist slipping her out of his pocket and watching her disappear into the raindrops. She is too small for him but he can't stop himself from having fantasies about her. Because of this, he has fallen in love with her, despite not knowing who she is or whether or not they'll ever meet again.
