You know Kate Winslet's character, Clementine, in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? I'd like to be her, except women like that are only considered sexy on film. Still, I persist on being brainy, passionate, and sometimes a little out of control. Please don't have me erased from your memory, even though I'm sure you may be tempted.

You use your charms for good, never evil.
When you were younger you learned a game that love and happiness were the same. Now you're older and you don't play.
You can make me fall in love over a single cup of coffee.
Your fragile ego is not the driving force behind your dating choices.
You often find yourself appreciating things or people others find ugly, unremarkable, or uncool.
You're over enlightenment thinking enough to not be terrified of vulnerability in yourself or others.
You want to read me to sleep and latte me awake.
