“She might be your type.
But I'm the exact font.
I am outside your window.

The first time you were bullied in junior high.
The last time you blushed from a compliment.
Every fever that hasn't yet broken. It's true,
I have never made a love potion that hasn't blown up,
but your mouth is the sexiest beaker.
Bend me over your periodic table
then try to tell me we don't have chemistry.”
