I know I’ve never said a thing;
You maybe think I dumb.
But when you sit down next to me
I go completely numb.

My stupid jeans beside you, here
Inside this shopping mall:
It’s like your “here-ness” fills the room
And I’m not here
At all

she’s wholly other in her ways:
considered beautiful by guys,
but aims to be both good and wise,
so as to truly merit praise

she is not proud, although she’s smart,
she knows what she must have for sure:
a man who’s good to more than her
will be the one to win her heart

The best book that I ever read –
It didn’t look that great.
And from a blackened barbecue –
The best I ever ate.

I am not saying “ugly equals good”
Oh, no, far from it:
I’m merely saying, the best view’s
Not always
At the
Summit

A man who has a daughter

Knows what it is

To love someone so much

It breaks his heart

You can want
Whatever you want
So long as you want
What I want
You to want
