MY FAVOURITE LIPSTICK

"I have too many red lipsticks
I was trying to find the perfect one, actively searching
Too shiney, too bright, too pink, too too
I often bought into them, tried them on
But they all wanted me to be
Something I'm not

I think the searching and the trying was what ruined it
I did want to be that girl though
Her, in the cafe, mysterious, reserved, cultured
Reading the latest off of International Best Sellers
Instagram ready

But I stopped searching
And I found you
I don't wear lipstick now
I'd rather we makeout
The feel of your lips, the imprint you leave
Is my favourite shade"
