i have an obsession
with miss perfection
i wear my best smile
as i greet her at the door
there is a slight change in her tone
and i begin obsessing
is she upset?
or am i just overreacting?
i think about it the whole date
she looks bored
i try to crack some jokes
but nothing seems to work
i take her home and she says thank you
as she leaves, i sit in my car and think
my thoughts stay with me
until work tomorrow
and the day after
did i do something wrong?
was it something i said?
maybe i'll send her a text
but my heart still won't let it go
at our next date, she is bored as usual
i wonder why she still comes
maybe there is a chance for me
or is she just showing pity
my mind won't stop thinking
everyday i chase after miss perfection
and everyday she seems farther and farther away
maybe i should stop
because i've worn out my heels
and my soul already
