you asked me to prove that I was serious,
because you couldn't believe
(oh how confounded you were)
that I could ever be speaking the truth.
I like you
I had texted to you some Tuesday morning
and you just send me back
haha
and the conversation went on because, well,
that's just how you are (which is okay)
The second time we hung out you tentatively held my hand
as if any second I would ask you to stop
"I like you"
I whispered as you held me in the parking lot,
(I was scared your friends thought I was weird)
You just pulled me closer and kissed my head
and past it we went again..
You texted me the other night, right after my midnight snack
Do you really?
and I sat and thought for a long time
..if I didn't like you...
I wouldn't yawn as much
because I stayed up until 2 thinking about you
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't curse so much
every time I embarrassed myself (as I do so much)
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't write so much
trying to understand all the thoughts overwhelming me
..if I didn't like you..
I wouldn't smile so much
every time you glanced over at me from across the room

trust me,
I like you
..if I didn't..
you would know.
this is the start of something
