How well I know a stranger Marley Claeys
I know your middle name, and your favorite cereal.
I know the words to your favorite song, and your phone passcode combination.
I know the piece you use in Monopoly, and where you hide your secrets.
I know where your birthmark is, and your mom’s coffee order.
I know you hate your birthday, and that you don’t like to read.
I know what tattoos you want, and that your brother likes to draw. I know you want three kids, and what store you buy your shampoo from.
I know what you want to be when you grow up, and that you hate to drink LaCroix.
I know your favorite shade of green, and that you don’t believe in God anymore.
I know your biggest fears, and how to make you smile.
I know you don’t like surprises, and that you chew on your sweat- shirt strings.
I know you sleep with a window open, and that you’re really bad at math.
I know you love the snow, and what you like on frozen yogurt.
I know that you’ve lied, and that you’ll never tell me why.
I know that you can’t make up your mind, and that you’ll only make me wait.
I know that I’m too good for you, and that you’ll probably never change.
I know that you could call me now, and then I would be in your arms today.
