hey, i love myself

hey, boy.

i've sorted through the others

and i pick you.

here's my heart.

i've wrapped it in my passion and tied it with a ribbon of hope.

hey, boy.

i did this once before

when I gave my heart I was asked for a gift receipt.

i know you're different.

you can be the piece to make my life complete.

hey, boy.

third time's the charm.

I'm older and more beautiful and have a lot to offer.

I'm a little awkward but my love makes up for it.

here's the key to my heart

it's a little worn and the lock is a bit rusty

hey, boy.

hey, boy

hey, boy

hey, boy

hey, me.

i have something to say.

stop chasing after people when you can't give yourself the time of day.

build your confidence.

love yourself.

because you have to live with yourself, before anyone else.

hey, me.

i love who I am.

I'm quirky, i laugh a lot, and i'm not fake.

i feel very deeply and that's a blessing.

if you show me you're worthy and that you'll put in the work

I'll give you my love and my time

i used to give my heart to anyone

but now,

my heart is ivy-league.

prove your mettle and you'll do just fine
