Twice as Nice: Shifting Emotions in Unrequited Love

You are
Twice as nice,
Twice as cool.
Twice too smart, twice too true.

You are
Twice good-looking,
Just too good.
Twice everything that is you.

But,w

Too much everything is not good.
Too cool, too much good.

Too much nice, too much cool.
Too much smart, ain't so true.
