You feel like home

You think that girls want 

the bad ones, 

the dangerous ones, 

the mysterious ones. 

And maybe some do. 

In fact, 

I'm sure that some girls 

want the boys 

that keep them guessing. 

They want chaotic love. 

And maybe one day 

I did too. 

But you see, 

I finally understood 

that my mind is 

chaotic enough already. 

I'm constantly 

second guessing 

and over thinking 

and driving myself crazy, 

so I don't want someone 

who adds to the mess 

inside my head. 

I need someone 

to calm my thoughts 

and put me at ease. 

I want someone 

who makes me feel okay. 

Seeing you feels like 

coming home after a long day 

and crawling into bed 

with a good book 

and a cup of tea. 

You're safe. 

And some people 

might say that it's boring, 

but there's nothing boring 

about the way 

you make me laugh 

or the way 

you hold me at night. 

There's nothing boring 

about being with you. 

So no, 

I don't want a bad boy. 

I want you 

and your stupid jokes 

and your fun facts. 

Because you make me happy.
