Would you ever love a girl like me
Who never forgets
Not for a moment. Not at all
All the heartaches and pain that came
Who takes note
Of every word you say or promise you make
Not coz she'll hold it against you
But coz she hopes it will not be broken
And even if it does, the blame will never be on you, but on what she could've done to make you break them
Who lives a thousand lives
To drown everything out of her mind
With books and movies and sometimes her own works of writing
Who needs these things to forget the constant reminder the memories bring
These are her companions that silence out the cries she's cried before.
Who seeks constant security.
Never worry for she will not bother you when you have your night out or your alone time, no.
It will be the ghost of the past haunting her through these times.
And hopefully, your love is enough to silence the ghosts and leave her a lingering sense of safety.
And finally would you love a girl that constantly needs space
It is hard sometimes to believe
That with all the neediness a girl like that requires, she will seek solitude.
Whether at random or long announced
This silence is important to her
For she cannot always fathom that a man like you would even consider her
And for every day you stay
For every test you pass on her mental checklist
The silence lets it sink in
That maybe it is possible
That all the ghosts that haunt her, telling her about all the heartbreaks she has had and possible ones ahead,
Could be silenced by a love like yours
