Crush

your words are like honey to my ears
you know exactly what I want to hear
 I put a wall up so I don't have to face my fear.
When I fall for someone I usually end up tears.
 
This isn't  about the fear of rejection
but its actually about the fear of perfection. 
I know no one is "Perfect" but I made you my selection.
 
I created this image of you, I set a high expectation.
I go to bed a night not giving into temptation.
I'd probably do anything for you without  an explanation. 
 
You see I always end up falling so hard and so fast 
I should be really careful because my heart is made of glass.
When I look for love, I look for something that will last. 
Something a lot better than I had in the past. 
 
I know I shouldn't expect too much 
I know with this love thing i should never rush. 
but can I get a " Refill" of this "Conversational Lush"
 
I wish I could slow down my mind 
I wish i could speed up time. 
I wish you could hurry up and be mine.
