I like it

I cross out words till I have no ink
I don’t know what to say and think
A year’s charade begins to fade
I go to pour another drink

Is it okay to love you yet?
The last few days make me forget.
My part I’ll play another day
For now I need no safety net.

I love, respect, and pine for you.
Believe me please; it is true.
When I’m in bed you fill my head
With thoughts of things I wish to do.

But I know where your heart belongs
With him you’ll dance the slower songs
And you’re the girl for whom he longs.


If only you were uglier
Your hair and wardrobe scuzzier
Another guy would walk right by
But you’d still make me feel fuzzier.

But you’re the prettiest girl I know
When you pass by, your beauty melts the snow
It sucks for me, ’cause I can see
Your brilliant, funny, inner glow.

I know I said I liked you less
I was unhappy then, I confess
And all your words, like evil birds,
Had placed me in extreme duress.

But if I like you less than now
That might be better, you’ll allow
And in the end you’ll be my friend
If only I could figure how

So for the moment, you remain
My favorite girl to entertain
It isn’t fair but I don’t care
I only have your love to gain.

The point is that I understand
Those Summer days that no one planned
We both regret our words and yet
They’re far too late to countermand

So thus I don’t want to hear you say
Anything like “I'm sorry”, you know it’s okay.
My love I’ll hide back deep inside
To give to you another day
