I have a crush on you, but not in the way crushes now work;
Where you look up their social media and all our friends lurk.
I mean in the way that I want to record your laugh,
Play it back to god and thank him on everyone's behalf.
I mean in the way that for you I'd be put together,
Deconstruct my worst habits because for you I'd want to be better.
You inspire a new perspective,
You hold up a mirror to me say "you should really be more perceptive".
You reflect the best parts of me but hold space for the worst,
Improvising as we go because love shouldn't be rehearsed.
And those spaces might fill I might not be who you thought,
I might be someone better than the idea you first bought.
And if you have a crush on me the real me then,
I hope you grab a journal and a fully loaded pen.
Write a letter to me saying "I know how this might go,
but I'm sick of feeling scared of a feeling I really wanna know".
Serendipity they call it as I write a letter too,
Say "I know how this might go, but I have a huge crush on you".
But only one letter is sent, "I have a crush on you in the running through the airport sort of way",
The others hand delivered "and I wouldn't have it any other way".
