I trace over your name on the back of my hand
Engraving all four letters into my memory
Just in case... Baby just in case
I'm not as perfect as you thought I was
And just so you know,
I still get the butterflies when you say my name
and the way your eyes burn through me..
I know that you know..[everything]
The way I giggle at the sound of your name
I act out the role of the typical teenage girl,
I lay on my stomach; cigarette in hand
and try to figure out what makes you so damn perfect...
Maybe it's all in the way
That you make me feel beautiful,
Or in the way that you let me know
You're everything I've ever wanted
My fellow Nerd;
Conversations of technology and B-grade flicks;
Over a cup of coffee, you'll quote Steve Wilson,
and whisper
*baby, drown with me*
I smile at this point,
Look at you and feel the tears sting my eyes,
The words fall past my tongue as though I've said them forever,
and through drum beats on tables and Spinal Tap quotations;
...I love you past eleven...
[[Because eleven's more then ten]]

Imaginary Girl
Bbi, this is horrible, and sappy, but I hope you like it anyways.
Steve Wilson is the lead singer of the band Porcupine Tree. He's phenominal.
