[code] You’re too complex and complicated for it to be that simple, and so all I ask is that
If you fall in love with me, you’ll fall in love with my infinite complexities, too.[/code]

[code] And that special way you recharge yourself when you feel drained.
I’ll even love your heart after you’ve given your last second chance to someone for the 1016th time because I know you’re a tangled mess of contradictory things.
So please don’t just fall in love with me, because I’m not going to fall in love with “just you”.[/code]

[code] I’ll fall in love with the way you endlessly try to please people and how it drives you crazy that it’s never enough.
Or how you selflessly pour your pitcher to hydrate someone despite the fact you’re parched.
I’ll fall in love with your phases, both dark and bright,
and how sometimes you might go into hiding when you’re frustrated.
I’ll fall in love with how you pretend you’re not emotional despite the fact you’re feelings are trying so hard to escape your eyes.[/code]

[code]But that’s beside the point.
The point is: I’m a tangled mess of contradictory things
But I’m not saying this to scare you
I’m saying this to warn and protect you,
and to properly love you, and to tell you not to worry about a thing.
Because remember, I am an all-or-nothing person, so if I fall in love, I am all in for you.
And if you, somehow, fall in love with me, don’t.
Because I won’t be limited to loving you, but I’ll be head-over-heels for your smile,
your giggle, the face you make when you’re embarrassed, and the look in your eyes
when I know you’re jealous.[/code]

[code]When I’m drained, I’ll get frustrated, and sometimes I’ll go into hiding.
I’ll either take a solo hike or get in my car and drive just to get my distance, peace, and alone time.
But don’t you worry because I’ll eventually turn around and come home again.
Oh and I’m obsessed with galaxies and stars,
but it depresses me to know these things will either get swallowed by a selfishly hungry black hole
or explode and die in a supernova or whatever.[/code]

[code]But remember: there are two sides to every coin,
so if you fall in love with me, don’t.
Because in every lunar cycle, the moon disappears for a while,
and it has a dark side too.
And I said I was a people pleaser, and us people-pleasers… we pour.
In fact, I will keep filling and filling your glass until it’s overflowing
and my pitcher has gone empty
because to see you hydrated is all I could ever want in this world,
until I realize it’s left me drained.[/code]

[code]Like, really emotional.
In fact, I may even think I have you fooled about how I’m feeling,
but because my dad didn’t raise a liar,
I am forced to unintentionally wear my big sobby heart on my sleeve.
Oh and I’ll let something slide 1016 times,
but after that, I don’t give second chances.
I’m also an incredibly all-or-nothing person to a fault.
But when I’m invested in something, I’d rather lose everything good I have
before I even consider declaring bankruptcy.[/code]

[code]I get jealous when I see that someone can provide for other people
in a way that I can’t but that’s because I’m a people pleaser
and us, people-pleasers, we just want to give.
And I go through phases just like the moon,
but I always complete my lunar cycle and return to my bright self again.
And you should probably know that I’m emotional.[/code]

[code] This isn’t some cliche poem about my childhood
suffering from the lack of a male role model
because that would be a terrible lie
And my dad raised a daughter with a guilty conscience
not a liar.
Anyways,
I’m here to warn you about what you might be getting yourself into.
I smile by habit, not by choice.
I giggle out of empathy, and humor, or embarrassment
but never to purposely spite.[/code]
