the luckiest girl

i'd give you the stars if i could

i would pluck them from the sky like petals from a daisy

i'd give you my heart

so you would know how much it beats for you

i'd give you everything

i will give you the most precious thing even

i will give you my vulnerability

i promise to be honest

even when it is not pretty

and it may be too much for you

but i could never live with myself if you fell for someone i am not

so i am willing to give you everything i am

because you are the perfect person

you are loving and kind and witty and brave

because if someone should break my heart

i would rather it be you

it would be a privilege to be hurt by you

not because it would leave my eyes red and my heart torn in two

but because i would be able to look back on our shared memories

and say that for a time i was able to call you mine

and that i was the luckiest girl

to be with a boy like you
