every day,
i question whether you like me
because
you don't want exclusive,
but we've usually spent
at least one night every
weekend,
together in my sheets.

we also talk every day,
and sometimes at night.

and to add to that,
we've been top best friends on
snapchat,
for two weeks straight.

and last weekend,
i asked you what you
like to read
because i know you
read a lot in your free time
and party less.

you weren't too specific,
but i told you i love poetry.
you said you didn't mind it.

so, i gave you a copy of
one of my poetry books today
with sticky notes marking
the poems that i enjoy the most.

and when you rode the bus
home from work today,
you sent me a line
from one of those poems
that i enjoy the most.

i still don't know whether
you like me the way
i wish you did, but
i don't see a lot of guys
reading poetry gave
to them by their lady friends.

and i don't see a lot of guys
acknowledging the fact that they
are reading those poems given
to them by their lady friends.
