i don't want to be the girl you could have had. i don't want to be the only one left standing, the only one who lost the only boy she ever really cared about. i don't want to be the one you should have kissed, the one you only sort of loved, the one you dated just so you could "get some." i don't want to be the co-signer of all your lies and the author of all your sins. i don't want to be alone every satruday night, i don't want to be sitting around waiting, and i sure as hell do not want to be your normal, girl next door who you only love on odd days.

i want to be the girl you fight for. i want you to cross oceans, fight fires, go three days without sleep, just to see me. i want to be so irresistable that you'll have to fight the urge to kiss me, to love me, to smell my hair and tell me that i remind you of the worlds most beautiful sunset. i want to be the girl that you're yourself around. i want you to treat me like a princess and treat me like one of the guys and treat me like a queen when it's just one of those days. i want to be the best.

i want to be intoxicating. i want to be the only girl you see, only girl you think about. when you fall asleep at night i want you to be thinking of me, and when you open your eyes at eight am to go to work i want to be the first thing you see. i want you to not be able to stop looking at me and when i ask you why you're smiling like a drunken fool you'll tell me it's because i'm beautiful, and that you love me. i want to be selfish and be with you all the time, keep you occupied. i want to know everything you are, who you are what you are where you are. i want to be all about you, inside and out.

i don't want to be some chick you met at a bar once or some girl who's in love with you and just doesn't know how to let go.
i want to be that girl. the one you wake up in the morning for and do the stupidest things with. i want to wake up with flowers at my bedside and wonder how they got there.

so keep fighting. i'll be at the edges of the battleground waiting for you, always.
goodnight, i love you.
"if you could only see the beast you've made of me
i held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
screaming in the dark, i howl when we're apart
drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

my fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
you are the moon that breaks the night for which i have to howl
my fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
you are the moon that breaks the night for which i have to

howl, howl
howl, howl

now there's no holding back, i'm making to attack
my blood is singing with your voice, i want to pour it out
the saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
i hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hallow'ed ground

like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins
i want to find you, tear out all of your tenderness

and howl
howl, howl."
