Crush On An Older Man

I have dreams about you
You keep me up all night long
Last night I thought about how we could never be together
And today it made me seriously depressed
I’ve been feeling sick lately
Is it the flu?
Or is it my thoughts about you?
Why couldn’t I be older?
So you could wrap me in your arms (your strong, muscular arms)
And your handsome, adorable face
Looking down at me
Telling me it’ll all be okay
As long as we are together
Damn that stupid dream
My seventeenth birthday is coming up quick
But it is just not enough
And the next day I’m leaving on a plane
Never to see you again
The best birthday present I could ever get
Is just one, undeniably sweet, 100% satisfactory, firework-worthy
Kiss from you.
Is that too much to ask?
