Old-fashioned Butterflies

I can’t be the only girl 

Who thinks it’s crazy

How we live in an age

Where asking for the “I” in I love you 

Is normal? 

Because I’m the kind of girl

Who likes quiet displays of affection 

Like remembering my favorite song 

Or coffee order

Or even knowing how I hate coffee 

But drink it anyways

I’m the kind of girl

Who likes the old school type of love

Like letting me rest my head on your shoulder 

Or hugging me from behind 

Or even kissing my hand

All princess like.

I’m the kind of girl

Who likes when you go out of your way 

Like getting me just because flowers

Or driving me out to go see the stars

Or even taking me on a date

For no reason at all.
 

I’m the kind of girl 

Who likes the clingy type

Like grabbing my hand whenever you can

Or kissing my cheek

Or even resting your head on my neck

Because you missed me
 

I’m the kind of girl

Who yearns for this “crazy”

Out of reach love 

The stuff only in fairytales

And I hope one day I’ll find my Prince Charming

Who knows I don’t need a man..

but I’d love one.
