You deserve someone who isn't broken.
You deserve someone who can love you with reckless abandon.
I can't be that girl you're convinced I am.
The one I'm so scared of being, the one
whose ashes I burn,
run from,
reform.
You deserve a girl who's crazy about you.
One who, when asked your attributes, can't stop rattling them off.
Not one who has to dig to feel something.
You deserve a girl whose toes curl up when thinking about your smile.
One who can't stop raving about your eyes.
You deserve someone who isn't broken.
Not like I
Not like I
