You are more than just pounds of meat
More than working muscle and skin
I wake only to see your face
All I have is solid hope for that grin

You are more than a primitive animal
More than hair on a somber hide
There is a special glow radiating
Shining from a place inside

You amount to more than the atoms
Meandering throughout magical matter
Please tell me what led you to believe our ideas
Would boil down to pointless chatter?

I would gladly rip my flesh
Endure the darkest agony
It would show you the love I feel
Is much more than biology
More than a chemical reaction

I think that I am needy
There I said it
I don't have what everyone else has
a boy that loves them and wants them
and I think I'm needy
because I want that
I want the Pam and Jim love story
the Me before You story
the Meredith and Derek story
Is that so much to ask for?
It must be.
I say that there is someone for everyone
but when am I going to start believing it?
It seems so easy for everyone else,
to love and be loved, so quickly finding someone
but here I am chasing a boy who may not want me
and I convince myself he does
What if he doesn't?
Have I wasted my time?
When did I start measuring my worth
upon how far I have gone with a man?
And when someone else
who is much __(er) than me
gets with a guy,
I feel like there must be something really wrong with me.
When did women become each other's competition?
When did I start being so harsh to myself?
I know what I want, truly, from a man
and I think I'm needy because I have standards and expectations
I want to be desired and loved and wanted
I needy for it and I hate myself for it

I am sorry I never know
Correct words to say to change your mood
You need me now and I fail completely
Every morning I wake with an attitude

Hunger sits inside my soul
I am scared one day of spiraling down
Out of reach, then my demons
Will whisk me under wicked waves to drown

I tell my heart to stay afloat
Swim even harder for you, I, and we
Kick cruel devils, keep treading water
I barely have head above this miserable sea
We are still afloat, and that is what's important

I try so hard to
Make your life better but I
Only make it worse
It's like the harder i try the more damage i cause

You picked up pieces
Everyone else smashed, and you
Filled the gaps with you.
You put all my broken pieces back together and made my heart bigger adding yourself.

Watching your face as you sleep peacefully
Head full of stories I cannot see
I stare at your eyelids wistfully
I can't help but wonder if you are dreaming of me
I hope you are

Nothing is perfect
I disagree. Your flaws are
Imperfect for me.
When you meet the one your strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, and energies balance in a special kind of harmo y that makes everything  about them (good or bad) seem perfect.

He can't handle not being there for her.
She knows he can't always be there to save her from her demons.
He thinks he is her one and only but in reality, he isn't the only one wanting her.
She knows she needs to choose but she can't one is sweet and is her best friend and the other is her boyfriend and everyone knows that they like each other but people ask if they are friends with benefits. She knows if she breaks her boyfriend then her best friend will be scared that she will break him.  She wants to choose her boyfriend but her best friend is a sweet temptation. Her boyfriend acts like he wants her but never actually spends time with her.
Who should she choose?
