Love is so stupid
We could be smart together
I've been taking notes

You're worth more than every penny I've thrown away wishing it was still me and you. Every 11:11, birthday candle, and eyelash.

You're worth more than everything NASA has spent going to the moon, but I'd multiply that by two just to give the stars to you.

You're worth more than my bill on iTunes if I bought every song that reminded me of you, or every romantic comedy I wish we starred in.

You're worth more than the bus fare the words "I love you" dished out the first time they made their way from my lips into your ears.

You're worth more than the rent the butterflies pay to live inside my stomach every moment I am with you.

So the next time a boy makes you feel worthless, just remember, you're worth everything to me.
You're worth more than my Johnny Cupcakes collection.

I'm not some sort of endangered species.
I'm not a ******* Pink Lady Slipper its okay to pick me.

Pluck me
Love me
**** me

Just tell me the truth.
Before I grow roots into you.
Rip open my rib cage and ever so gently pull the weeds from my tangled bones.
Hold me against you like a bouquet of roses.

I want to know your plans.
So show me the schematics of your heart beat,
I promise my blueprints are so much more than the veins in my forearms when we hold hands.

I'm trying to find a forest.
I'm tired of climbing over mountains,
just to walk through fields of dandelions.

Sometimes I miss you so much that I forget things about myself,
like, what my smile looks like or the sound of my own laughter.

But still my mind is filled with all of these useless facts
like, Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-a-like contest and came in third place

The Empire State building was the first man made structure you could jump off of and reach terminal velocity before you hit the ground

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.
Females' hearts beat faster than males'.

Dogs can make ten noise while cats can make nearly 100.
There are approximately 9,000 taste buds on the human tongue.

You hate thunderstorms, I am a thunderstorm.
I know its impossible to die from a broken heart.

But lately when I look in the mirror I can't even recognize myself
and reaching terminal velocity sounds sweeter and sweeter each day

At night I can not fall asleep because I am haunted by the thought of you.
My heart has almost stopped beating in your absence.

If you called me on the phone I would not know what to say,
but still your lips are the only thing my taste buds recognize as happiness

You hate thunderstorms, I am a thunderstorm

I know that you left me, so why won't you leave me?
I know that you left me, so why won't you leave me?

I'm sorry if I seem confused.
When I think of you all the words are in French.
I once heard it was the language of love.

If every kiss could last a lifetime,
I wouldn't stop at just one.

Feelings change like autumn leaves,
but mine for you are evergreen.
