I like to pretend I don’t have emotions In my mind I’m better then those weak-kneed, angsty teenage girls who write about true love in their journals but have never worked up the nerve to actually talk to a boy I enjoy my feeling of superiority But no human is without their flaws My flaw happens to be you When you’re near I seek out the nearest mirror and check my reflection Fix my hair Straighten my shirt I clear my throat as I try to slow down my pulse I tell myself to breathe, slowly; inhale, then exhale. And when our encounter is over And we’ve gotten no closer To the place I long to be -in your beautiful freaking arms I walk away and daydream of our lives together Next thing you know I’ll be scribbling your name all over my notebook. You turn me into a cliché I never thought I’d be ******* you and your beauty
