I know I'm not supposed to fall in love with you,
It wasn't on purpose, I promised myself not to,
I can't help but see your face amongst the crowd,
You're that "nothing" when they ask me what I'm thinking about,
I want the tightest hugs as I come home to you,
Its 2 am and I'm laying awake thinking about you,
Long drives by the beach with the breeze in my hair,
I can't help but fall for you more but I don't want to share,
We never said it to each other but I guess we both knew,
But again, don't we all fall for the forbidden fruit?
From the many lies I told myself, my favorite was you and I,
And every single text of yours gives me those stupid butterflies,
You gave me every damn reason to want you to stay,
Tell me about your flaws and let me love you anyway,
Tell me everything about you, I'm not like them, I won't leave,
Tell me about your best memories including the ones that you grieve,
"I like you" and you say "you don't know me well" but " I want to",
If we don't talk again, ever, just remember I loved you,
So, go ahead and sleep tight, may all your dreams come true,
While I wish at a shooting star to find someone like you.
