I know we've only just met

#love#my life

❦

And I don't mean to move too fast But I couldn't sleep last night Because I don't know your middle name Or how you take coffee And for some reason There's nothing in this world I would like to know more Except maybe How your hair looks when it's messy in the morning or what makes you laugh until you cry Or what makes you laugh when you're crying Either or both or all of those facts would be fine And I know we only just met And I don't mean to move too fast But I couldn't focus this morning Because I needed to know your preference And take out food And the dreams you'd never say out loud But secretly wish to come true And if I were to buy you flowers Would you want them to be blue? And I know we only just met I don't mean to move too fast But suddenly your voice is in my head Playing on repeat And I'll probably never say this out loud And I should probably get some sleep It's just that suddenly Everything that's significant to you Is significant to me. I know you wouldn't read this far But in case you did, I just wanted to ask Would you like to go out with me? If I were to bring you flowers Would you want them to be free
