It was two lipsticks and a secret ago That a text message from you lit up my screen But my phone goes off and I read your name The boy who uses pretty words that he doesn't really mean And my name is not plan B But you're a tough craving to ignore Don't you tell me I'm beautiful The way you never did before 'Cause I hate the way you overuse The same phrase every time we talk And I hate the way you think you're something new When you're just another cliché in the flock I hate the way you cling to my mind With the letters of your name you can spell what I'm thinking But between your indecision and the masks you wear I hate how I'm only pretty when you've been drinking

I'm only pretty when you've been drinking
The problem is I do like him. I certainly hate him But I also like him. I like the way he capitalizes the beginnings of his sentences over text,  I like the cute little crinkles that appear in his forehead when he smiles The coy way he responds to flirtation with something like "Oh really now?" I like how he calls things "sweet", the way he says "aww" I even f!cking like his annoying as hell overuse of the phrase "haha" when he texts which ****** me off, I like how he is the only teenaged boy I know who says something is "quite" fun and how he uses the word "lovely" to describe things because no one uses that word anymore and more people should. I like how he has an immense love for Spiderman, How he has all these aspirations of travelling all over in the future I like how he wants to live in England one day, I like that he is into cooking and drinks coffee and hot chocolate and how his favorite book is "Looking for Alaska" and how he's read everyone of John Green's books and how he wants to be a writer one day. I just remember the dumbest little things that I still like about him For instance how he likes Neil Gaiman and loud screamy music even though I hate that stuff, how he is the only one in his fractured family who doesn't speak French but his older sister and mother do. He has a dog named Charlie and when he was a kid he always spelled "subtle" wrong. I just don't know *** is wrong with me I should have known better. I should hate him for half this stuff and all the rest of the reasons I have to loathe him but it's hard to forget those little details about him. I just hate feeling like a broken lock. A lock of dark secrets and completely irrepairable. Though it's not the fact that Im irrepairable that bothers me as much as feeling so... replaceable. Idk. Maybe I need to go out with someone to get him out of my head.

little details I should really learn to forget
