My next boyfriend

I just want you to know that I like you
and I hope you like me to.
If you didn't then I would feel real bad
and I wouldn't know what to do
but I doubt that there's a problem with that...
I see love in your gaze.
It's in every touch from you.
It's in the look you use on me.
And I just want you to know this
so you know what to expect.
I know you can't be everything
because I'm also not perfect.

I am very emotional.
I tend to cry quite a bit.
When I do, please don't freak out.
If you hold me close I can promise it will quit.
Just slowly wrap me in your arms.
Hold me close and say it's OK.
Just brush the hair from my face
and tell me that when I cry
I'm beautiful anyways.

I'm not a useless tool.
Puppy eyes will never succeed.
I am however a sucker for 7 words:
"I love you, do it for me?"
but don't take granted of that
because I'm easy to get mad.
If I were to ever hang up on you
give it 5 minutes, then just call me back.
Because you know I can't stay mad at you.
That's the down side to love.
When I say "I'm going to beat you if you don't stop"
I really mean "you're funny and I like it... keep it up"

I'm not as *edited* as you would think.
I can take a joke like you.
Especially the ones you make on me
because they're usually true.
So don't be afraid to call me stupid
or threaten to beat me up.
I'll know you're only kidding
and I'll love to play along.
And if I threaten to take you down
just let me feel special, let me win.
But don't make it obvious.
I'll make it up to you if I think I deserved it.

I hope this isn't all about play.
I hope we can have 'real' conversations to.
I hope you know I had a rough past
and I'm scared and only trust a few.
I hope you know I want to feel belonging
as if you NEED met here in the moment.
I hope you tell me I'm special to you
because I'll always make it worth it.
I promise my love in return.
I will give you all the time you want.
I don't really have that much
but for you I'd give it up.

I'll always let you pick the song
as long as you promise me a dance
and if you lead me where ever we go
you can even choose the stance.
I'll let you choose the movie,
I'll even offer to buy.
All you'll ever have to do
is sit right at my side.
I'll do everything and anything
because your happiness is all I expect.
Perfection is not a flaw for you
because you're as close as perfection can get.
