When I think of you You’re the ideal idea You’re everything I need But nothing I think I want When I try to sleep And imagine you breathing beside me I think of affection and humor You’re a balm to soothe Not a love to consume We are not in love or lust There is no burning need Just patience, comfort Body heat for a security blanket Our hands do not fit together Not two halves of a whole We’re broken pieces Odd socks and lost pen tops We don’t match but we suffice You don’t fill the empty parts of me Which gives me time with myself You’re the ideal idea The half smile on a dull day I have no unrequited love No heartache Only the knowledge what perhaps Just maybe I’m not dead after all

Ideal Idea.
When I think of you You’re the ideal idea You’re everything I need But nothing I think I want When I try to sleep And imagine you breathing beside me I think of affection and humor You’re a balm to soothe Not a love to consume We are not in love or lust There is no burning need Just patience, comfort Body heat for a security blanket Our hands do not fit together Not two halves of a whole We’re broken pieces Odd socks and lost pen tops We don’t match but we suffice You don’t fill the empty parts of me Which gives me time with myself You’re the ideal idea The half smile on a dull day I have no unrequited love No heartache Only the knowledge what perhaps Just maybe I’m not dead after all
