Let me start by saying
I don't believe in love
But please let me explain
that it's just a rule of thumb
I say I hate the world
as I have a fear of rejection
I'm slightly socially awkward
especially when showing affection
However, beneath the surface
is another side to me
which i hide away from the world
for only a few to see:
I act like I'm the best
because I feel like I'm the worst
I shake my fringe and lower my head
when I'm uncomfortable or hurt
I have a tendency to overthink
and I get jealous easily
and I find it hard admit
as I'm afraid of people seeing all of me
I don't like to tell people these things
as it makes me feel vulnerable
just like I'll only sing to you
when I am feeling comfortable
I know you know I say 'shut up'
when what I really mean is 'yes'
there's a reason I'm telling you all these thing
that I probably should confess
I wanted to let you know me
but I was unsure how to do it
so I had to write a poem
or I'd be too awkward to get through it
So I have to tell you in a poem
how I really feel
before I change my mind
and the truth is never revealed
I say I'm really good with words
when actually, I'm just average
I'll say one thing but you'll know I mean another
if you watch my body language
I say that i don't give a ****
and that is sometimes true
but you can tell I'm lying
if I can't look at you
I've said I don't believe in love
yet I believe in fate
and I guess I like you quite a bit
so I'll tell it to you straight
i don't like expressing emotions
so forgive me if I'm blunt
but listen close to this
because I'll only say it once
-
I like the way you sing to me
though sometimes out of tune
I like the way when we lie down
you let me be the little spoon
I like how we don't have to talk
when we lay side by side
I love it when you tell me
that you miss me late at night
I hate your slow replies
but that's only because I'm needy
I like how we think we're really cute
when others think we're cheesy
I like the way you're patient
and how you hold my hand
i like the way you're respectful
and the way you understand
I like how we feel comfortable
when we're around each other
but i have to admit you're super annoying
when you steal all the covers
Your eyes, I've noticed, do this thing
where they go really soft
and i don't know if you knew
but you do it quite a lot
I like the way that sometimes
in your kitchen we'll slow dance
And normally I'm quite wary
but with you I took a chance
i hate the way you outsmart me
and how you're often right
I hate the way you cross my mind
every single night
I laugh at the face you make
when my hair falls in the way
I find it funny how we insult each other
at least five times a day
'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'
is what we both live by
but I know I won't feel worthy of you
however hard I may try
I've said I don't believe in love
as it's a common misconception
but maybe I'm starting to think
that every rule has an exception
