I Love Myself
The Hush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday he'll come along, the man I love
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile I'll understand
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home, just meant for two
From which I'll never roam, who would, would you?




And so, all else above,
I'm waiting for the man I love

Every time I read YA novels these days I scream. Maybe it's because I've actually studied lit and I know that if I had turned in half of what I've ready in these books to my any of my professors I would have had failed those classes.

when i was 14 i loved these books as well, at the time i thought they were fantastic and i loved them, used to re-read them over and over again. 6 years later these are still my one of my favourites not because they are particularly mindblowing but because they are ridiculous, these are my feel-good books on a rainy and sad day

Got a tattoo done on my NECK for this series in 2016. I then re-read it years later and realised I hated the books lol [rip]

@cari can read I was a fresh 18 yr old and wanted a tattoo 😭😂 I genuinely loved this series in my teens, it was an obssessive thing for me.

I got a 'falling' feather done on the side of my neck to represent Patch's last feather. Which could be worse tbh! It's somewhat a passable tattoo. But, yeah, I re-read the books and realised that Patch was a groomer-ish and tbh the books aren't great. 😂So now I am stuck with a tattoo of a series I hate LOL. At least it's cute.
