i’m glad i’m busy.
i love the people i surround myself with.
I’m just that girl with my heart hangin’ out.
Wrap me up tight in the middle of the night. Make me blossom like a flower in the morning with kisses. I just want a boy who’s as strange as I am. Who appreciates the smaller things, the tear in the paper, the wrinkle in the photo, the mess on the floor. The disaster we made the night before from not caring what we did as long as we did it together. Holding hands running through the streets dodging cars, chasing pigeons, creating beautiful things, being loud, being quiet, forts in the middle of the night, laying in bed all day long watching horror films and calling into work “sick” just so we could spend the day together. Someone that makes me completely, ultimately, genuinely, happy. No worrying, no jealousy, no fear, no hesitation, no deceit, just love. Just love.
But then again who needs that when you have binary love.. who needs boys when you have robots?
