"Don't Be Afraid That It Won't Be Perfect.
Be Afraid That It Won't Be."
You’re still the one that I want.
Times roman or comic sans font
Doesn’t change the one that I want
The style that I want
The smile that I want
If you need to move, hey, let’s go to Vermont!
You can still change if you want
If you need to sin, I’ll be your baptismal font,
If you’re hungry in the morning, I’ll bake you a chocolate croissant,
I can be super into you or act nonchalant,
If you’re looking for a Southern girl, I can be your bouffant
Laugh all you want!
You’re still the one that I want.
How dare you be so proud
How dare you say my name like that and say it out loud
How dare you hold my hand
How dare you be my man
How dare you trace my spine
How dare you twist your fingers and blend into mine
How dare you share that smile
How dare you stay the while
How dare you give me those eyes
How dare you make me believe your lies
How dare you taste my lips like I’m your favorite pie
How dare you kiss my nose
How dare you touch my toes
How dare you come to all of my shows
How dare you be my present
How dare you be my past
How dare you make me hope that this thing with you might last
How dare you?
I don’t know, but I better figure it out fast.
Because it’s my turn to dare you,
To send you a broadcast ♥️
And I knew then
I could fall in love with anyone
With anything
That I could always find something
In everyone
To let myself fall
Ever in love
I saw your favorite shirt on a man I’ve never met holding the hand of a girl I once knew
And I noticed -
When I did my hair today it looked like yours
I think we’re at that point where you’re starting to blend into me
Like a pair of running watercolors
And I’m not mad
I’m astounded
Confound it!
Dumbfounded
It’s so funny how it happens
How sneaky it can be
How easy it is
For you to blend into me
In a forest made of willows
In a fortress made of pillows
Where the clouds are beneath are feet
And the trees smell of something sweet
Where we’d laugh and we’d play
And together we’d stay
Embraced
In our place
Smiles on our faces
Gone without a traces
Completely complacent
Completely -
Well -
A moment like that -
You can’t replace it.
Radiant
Glowing
So open
So kind
Shining forth
Open heart
Open mind
And I don’t want to walk by
I don’t want to leave you here
All alone
I need to be near you
I need to hold you tight
To be in your radiance
To shine in your light
And I’m like an amateur plantologist who always wanted to be a biologist
A gardener without a spade
A housekeeper without a maid
I don’t even have the proper equipment
I’m no gardener
I’m just a friendly neighbor walking by
I don’t have a jug
Just a bottle
A half filled bottle of aquafina I was saving for my walk home
But you’re just lying there
Bare
And I want to give it all to you
To drown you
You’re just so beautiful,
I want to pour my entire water jug onto you by the hour
But I fear I’d drown you in my own Eiffel tower
But sometimes you have to drown to survive
Can I keep you
If I keep you alive?
--
And I can’t stop thinking about you and not him
If I opened the door, would you let me in?
If I was a story, would you let me begin?
Seeing you makes me want to see you again
Can’t we be
Can’t we be
Can’t we be--
Friends don’t hold each other like that.
Or maybe they do.
I get closer to them just to get closer to you
I ask everyone hoping you’ll come too
Do you see through?
Do you know what’s true?
If I’ve told you once,
If I’ve told you before,
If I tell you now,
I can’t see how,
If numbers can cuddle can we make like 22?
& if cutlery came to life, could we spoon?
Who is it you wish for under the silvery moon?
Can people really fall in love so soon?
You light me up like a bright red balloon
You make me laugh like a beautiful baboon
If you’re a bird, then, hell, I’m a loon
You’re enough to make me swoon
If you’re a piano, maybe I could give you a tune?
Maybe I can help you clear away the clutter
Make your intrusive thoughts melt away like butter
It’s okay if you stutter
I’m looking at YOU, not the other
Be still and know
Call me on the phone
Please, take me home
You can’t
Can’t
Can’t leave me all alone
Take me
Mistake me
For a waffle cone
Make me
Then break me
If I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me
Fulfill me And thrill me
If you’re ice cream, then chill me
If I’m bbq can you grill me?
It’s you I want, ya feel me?
Said the Fly
"Not ME!"
Spoke the tree
"Not us!"
Said the bus
Or a small child locked in a small car
