These are the reasons I like you:
Because your smile is slow and sad and sweet.
Because your laugh is rare and just for me.
Because your eyes don’t sparkle all the time –
I know that when they do I have done well.
Because we have pianos in common.
Because we love to travel in the wind.
Because we prefer our bikes to cars.
Because you don’t care if I like you –
You feel how you feel anyway.
Because you are warm and golden.
Because your hair will not calm down.
Because you come to visit me and talk.
Because you let me beat you (or not) at checkers.
You are so very hard to capture, aren’t you?
Because you’d prefer it if we were friends.
Because I’d prefer it if you didn’t.
Because you’d travel across the world with me.
Because I’ll never tell you how I feel –
That’s how much I like you.
Author notes
Yes. This was written about someone. Really, only the first stanza is an actual POEM-poem - the rest is written to him.
What did you think in general?
