I want a love like me thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you type love
Or me telling my friends more than I've ever admitted to myself about how I feel about you type love
Or hating how jealous you are but loving how much you want me all to yourself type love
Or seeing how your first name just sounds so good next to my last name.
And shit - I wanted to see how far I could get without calling you and I barely made it out of my garage.
I want a love that makes me wait until she falls asleep then wonder if she's dreaming about us being in love type love
Or who loves the other more
Or what she's doing at this exact moment
Or slow dancing in the middle of our apartment to the music of our hearts.
Closing my eyes and imagining how a love so good could just hurt so much when she's not there
And shit - I love not knowing where this love is headed type love
And check this-
I wanna place those little post-it notes all around the house so she never forgets how much I love her type love
then not have enough ink in my pen to write all the love type love and hope I make her feel as good as she makes me feel
I wanna deal with my friends making fun of me the way I made fun of them when they went through the same kind of love type love
The only difference is this is one of those real love type love
And just like in high school...
I wanna spend hours on the phone not saying shit and then fall asleep and then wake up with her right next to me and smell her all up in my covers type love
I wanna try counting the ways I love her then lose count in the middle just so I could start all over again
I wanna celebrate one of those one-month anniversaries even though they ain't really anniversaries but doing it just 'cause it makes her happy type love
And check this-
I wanna fall in love with the melody the phone plays when our numbers dial in type love and talk to you until I lose my breath, she leaves me breathless, but with the expanding of my lungs I inhale all of her back into me.
I want a love that makes me need to change my cell phone calling plan to something that allows me to talk to her longer 'cause in all honesty, I want to avoid one of them high cell phone bill type loves
I don't want a love that makes me regret how small my hands are I mean the lines on my palms don't give me enough time to love you as long as I'd like to type love
I want a love that makes me st-st-st-stutter just thinking about how strong this love is type love
I want a love that makes me want to cut off all my hair. Well maybe not all of the hair, maybe like I'd cut the split ends and trim the mustache but it would still be a symbol of how strong my love is for her.
I kind of feel comfortable now so I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some third world country just to get treated and somehow meet up again with you so I could fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same type love.
I want a love that's as unexplainable as she is...
