can't you?

Can't you see the butterflies in my stomach?

Can't you hear my heart beating in bed?

Can't you smell my sweet perfume in the mornings?

Can't you feel the stands of my hairbetween your fingertips?

Or do you just like my taste in fashion?

Everything I wish you would look for.

All of me needs all of you for these reasons.

So,

Can't you love me for who I am,

Rather who you want me to be.
