Okay, So Mayb e I don’t
cry myself to sleep,
write about him every second,
dream about him every night,
tear up when i see him with her,
relate every Taylor Swift song to him,
zone out every time i see him.
Okay, So Mayb e I don’t
love him. I have my whole life to find the right guy.
Don't live your life as a teenager looking for your husband.
He'll come; don't worry.
He'll come.
