To my girl


Can't give you the world 

But I can give you myself. That's basically the same thing?

Can't give you a pearl 

But I can give you the outline of a wedding ring.

Can't give you my soul

But I can give you my body. Please treat it with care.

Can't give you no gold

But I can give something more. A love that's fair.

I wonder if you think it's creepy that I like to smell your hair. 

Will you accept these things? For this is who I am.

Will you accept these things? For this is all I can
