You smell like my worst nightmare

I love it when you ask me
to fix your hair
Its something so simple,
you shouldn’t even care
Spending so much time
just to get it
Picture perfect
I like the small things about you
Like how your pillows needs to be a specific way
Standing straight with the open ends on the outside.
You can be so damn specific!
Its the small things.
Like how you can spend an hour talking to your mom
And being so patient with everything she says
I like it
I like you
I like how the corner of your mouth moves
When someone says something you don’t like
I love your like for pineapple
I like your love for me
But is this all it will ever be?
Is this just a like,
That turned into a love?
Or a love that will end up lost?
I can’t say that I’m afraid to lose you.
Cuz you aren’t mine to keep
Are you like a beautiful sea shell that I found?
I looked at it and I wanted to keep it.
I handled it with care
But in the end
I just put it back
For someone else.
It’s a happiness we shared
