The Awkward Common "Cold"

My immunity is weak.  
I haven't been exposed to enough bad  
in order to filter the good.  
You came on like the flu,  
fast as you could.  
 
You always catch it from a friendly  
hand shake or just close contact.  
They breathe on you and suddenly  
you are exposed to a plague of germs  
your body yells,"Whoa, we aren't ready for that!"  
 
You seemed friendly, and maybe you are  
but I feel I gave the wrong impression.  
Our friendly conversations were to me, just that: Friendly.  
So much of you was still a mystery  
but I engaged you willingly, until it happened.  
You took things a step to far  
and I awoke,  
as if from an afternoon,  
cough syrup nap that lasted into the dark.  
I was disoriented and didn't know what to do.  
 
So, do to lack of built up experienced antibodies,  
I maturely decided to ignore you.  
Some assured me it was right,  
he'll get the message then.  
But others warned me that it was a virus,  
and should be treated as such instead.  
 
Confront it head on with the right  
home remedies and medications,  
within a few days everything will be fine.  
So begrudgingly I told that "I don't want this,  
I don't have time."  
Not for this "love virus" that seems to be going around.  
I have got "too much going on in my life" to be  
love-sick, bed bound.  
 
And no I am not speaking innuendo,  
I was telling it to him straight.  
He wanted something more from me,  
and there was nothing to take.  
 
It took all I had to pull through that funk.  
My throat sore with embarrassing awkwardness,  
I was unable to speak up.  
But when I finally could,  
I was healed of the feverish body aches like  
a six ton weight was lifted from my shoulders.  
 
Of course, ego hurt and head held high,  
he exclaimed in text, that there was  
no virus affecting inside.  
But the coughing and the phlegm  
were telling a different story.  
 
I suppose I should have responded,  
for the awkward germs still linger in the halls.  
But I think the best I could of come up with is,  
"Oh, I'm sorry, I guess your symptoms  
were just a cold after all."
