If I could find a girl
Who goes to bed as late as me
Three, four, five in the morning.
Because the internet and the book she's reading
Are just that good.

If I could find a girl
Who loves all movies unabashedly
'90s blockbusters and animated features and epic romances.
Crying and laughing and quoting
The fondness deeper with each viewing.

If I could find a girl
Who knows grammar and spelling better than me
Sentence diagrams and punctuation over dinner.
Red pens and dictionaries and style books
Because she believes English can be a love language too.

If I could find a girl
Who loves Titanic as much as me
Movie and ship and books.
Crying and flying and dress-up and April 15
Planning our themed wedding in First Class.

If I could find a girl
Who knows who she is and knows who I am
Pros and cons and in-betweens.
Friendship and fighting and fire
Because we could build 50 years on that.

If I could find a girl
Who is me but also not me.
Who is the best parts of me
And whose worst parts I will love.
Whose heart will love my faults but not count them
And whose life makes mine whole.
Who dreams I am out there too
And thinks, "If I could find a girl..."
