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
