You
I wanted you
I wanted every part of you
But every part of you didn't want me
I was stuck in this rut
That you put me in
I put me in
My heart could have wanted anything else in the world
And yet my soul still ached for you
For just being
You
Want to change everything about yourself
How your hips are too wide
And your shoulders too broad
And sometimes you sounded like a grown man when your voice got scratchy
But sweetie that's normal
I want to change everything about myself too
How my voice is too high
And my chest too big
But you said you don't believe me
So why should I believe you?
Even if you don't believe me now
After everything we have been through
I need you
I need those soft gentle hands
I need those laughs at nothing
I need meaningless conversations
That happens when we're both depressed
You
Everything about you
Everything that I thought I'd never want
Everything was going to be okay
Everything was going to be a mess
Until I got over
You
You
Nothing about you seemed right for me
And yet all I wanted
And needed
And craved was
You
Everything is going to be fine
As long as you stay as far away from me as possible
Because it turns out that being in love with your best friend is never what it's cracked up to be
But at least I have
The memories
Of my first real love
My first fake love
My small innocent face
Looking into the candy store as my parents dragged me along
Knowing I would never be able to taste the sweet nothings of batted eyelashes and small smiles
I knew I could never have
You
But the search for love as perfect as ours
Will always be a never-ending yellow brick road into my future
Except that I will never be home
Because there's no place like
You
