To the Girls who are Imperfect.

by Emily   Dec 22, 2006


She has a few obsessions
Coconut and Almond Joys
Raindrops on a windowpane
Poetic, handsome boys

She likes the slow soft humming,
Of people talking while she sleeps
She likes to wade in cold crisp water
And follow waves until knee deep

She always smells like vanilla
She's really captured the scent
Whenever she receives a gift
She asks how much you've spent

She'll never borrow your money
She never has a plan
She has a problem with believing
And she never gets a tan

She doesn't slow down her words
She always speaks to fast
And she tucks away the moments
That you both believe should last

She's never been good at drawing
But she's mastered the art of speech
Everything she's always wanted
Has been an inch from reach

She'll never make a move
But it'll feel like it when she smiles
Sometimes she'll talk forever
Or stay for just a little while

Her hair is sometimes messy
Her determination, not to strong
If you search her playlist
You'll find every 90's song

She's quick on her feet when mad
But most of the time, she's confused
Sometimes naive and vulnerable
And she's so easy to abuse

She sings in the shower all the time
And she'll never forget you name
After you have this girl in your life
Things will never be the same

Sometimes you'll just want to hold her
Even if she's far away
Sometimes you'll find yourself thinking
About the thing she's about to say

She's no where near perfect
But she deserves to be your girl
Because all of these things, one day
She'll be that one boy's whole world.
