you make everything in this world
nowhere near as enchanting as it once was

the summer isn't nearly as warm as your body heat
and i so badly want to feel it

the stars are nothing compared to your eyes
so bright and strong and brave and bold

the moon is not as alluring as your smile
so excuse me if i stare when you laugh

i want to tell you all of these things
but you scare me
(and i like it).

i want to fight for you
i want to tell you how smart you are
i want to tell everyone that you're a part of me
and kiss you good night
         and good morning
         and good bye
and i want to cry when you cry
and laugh when you laugh
and tangle with you between blankets.

please tell me its okay to want this
to want you
please tell me you want me too.
