i liked you not only because
you were amazing at
playing the drums,
guitar and piano.

i liked you because
i saw that spark in your eyes.

i liked you not only because
of your chiseled features.

i liked you because
you can be soft.

i liked you not only because
you promised to keep
me safe in world.

i liked you because
you promise you'll
walk beside me while
we travel.

i liked you not only because
you keep bringing
roses to my doorstep.

i love that,
but i liked you because
they were white
and you knew.

i liked you not only because
you make me feel safe,
safer than my own home.

i liked you because
you never gave up on me.

i liked you not only because
I can tell you my secrets.

i like you because
you tell me yours back
and maybe you do
trust me.

but i think
i don't like you
anymore...

i think
i love you.
