your arms

your arms
I run to my bedroom, shedding a tear
You arrive soon after, you're always here
I'm mad at myself for not having any charms
For all I crave is nothing but his arms

You tell me boys usually act this weird
One moment you're all they ever wanted
The next it's like the love has disappeared
I tell you it's because of my imperfections
I can't even stand to look at my own reflection

You tell me to not think such things
That if the world was a kingdom
I'd be a queen in the midst of all the kings
I only laugh, brushing off the compliment
But little do you know, it boosts up my confidence

It's at that moment I realize
Your voice, your smile, it gives me butterflies
I don't have to be anything but myself when I'm around you
You make my smile the brightest even when I'm most blue

Whenever I'm with you, I feel as though nothing can harm
And at that moment I realize, too,
All I want in life is you and your arms.
