she makes me feel the way
a little kid feels
on a hot summers day
when the ice cream truck comes
giddy and excited
even though he sees it
rather periodically
it still makes him happy
the way she does me

I want you to know me
but I don't know myself
I want you to love me
but I have every aspect of me
I want you to be with me
but I can't stand the sight of myself

I'm trying to get better for you
because I want you
