Why would I a woman who has always wanted
Storybook type of love
Be so affraid of it?
Is it that after 27 years of
Settleing for the wrong men
I can't allow myself to be
Treated well?
Why would I want less in life
Why would I not want to hear a sincere "I love You"
Why can't I allow this to happen
Why does fear of being treated well make me stop
Make me hide under my covers
Bite my nails, and cry.
I want that kind of love that Princess Bride is
I want someone to rescue me
To hold me, tell me "as you wish"
And I want him to mean it when he says it.
I want him to constantly think about me
I want him to tell me how amazing I make his life
I need to know you like me for nothing more than me.
I grew up playing barbie's and watching movies
I made barbie love her life
And the movies I watched were far too adult for me
Say anything was a movie I should never have watched
I expected to much, but gave in to too little
I wanted to hear outside my window some song blasting on a boom box.
All I got was poor treatment.
I grew up with a sister who was perfect
Who always got flowers, and taken out on dates
So why did I settle for the shit guys?
Why did I not see what she had and want it.
And accept nothing less than that.
For years I was with someone who never really got me.
He never understood me.
So here I am facing the barrel of the gun
I have great friends
Who all give me great advice.
I have a Rain King
I have a best friend
I just want a boyfriend
Is this so much?
"Our love is like a storybook, story
But it's as real as these feelings I feel"
"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone."
"Lady in red, is dancing with me cheek to cheek"
"How do I live without you"
"The first time I ever saw your face"
"and you can have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down I will make you hurt."
"I'm blue for you, I don't know what to do."
"I could paint you red, like the passion you feel."
I want all of this and more!
