I love your lips and your hips,
And the way it sways when you walk,
I love how you speak,
And your freak-mind bending ideas that keep me thinking,
Where on earth you get them.
I love your songs and your voice,
And your imitation that you are a professional singer even you’re not.
I am your only arena,
And you’re loving it every time we made-up a pretend concert.
I love your touch and smirks,
Your quirks and little remarks.
I love everything that you’re not.
Yes! These are not you.
I’m a hoax, and so are you.
