a nice boy who will:
- scratch my back as i fall asleep.
- put up with my neurotic tendencies.
- go to movies, concerts and museums with me.
- lay around and listen to records with me.
- judge me by my taste in music, movies and books.
- watch red sox games with me.
- cuddle.
- be monogamous.
- sing ryan adams songs to me
-
or, you know, just ryan adams himself.
-
in other words...
don't tease me about my hobbies.
i don't tease you about being an asshole.
[garden state]
-
why can't i ever fall in love with someone nice like you?
[the apartment]
-
he held his breath
to hold your hand
to walk the stairsteps in pairs
day breaks
and every morning when he wakes
he thinks of you
