like you
(as in)
i find you
agreeable, enjoyable, satisfactory
(or as i would more deftly put it)
   i find you
  charming (you take my b r e a t h e    away)
     good-natured (kind and gentle)
  delightful (talented, funny, and intelligent)

i like you
   i find pleasure
     in your
  very existence.
   the fact
   that we breathe
         the same air
     encourages my feeble
attempts to go on.
i like you
     i find your body
  an endless sea
     of wave upon wave
         of delight, aching need
    stunning beauty
       and my only real
   connection to you.
i  like you
   i feel l i g h t e r
when you are around
  you restore my hope
     for humanity
         you light my way
i like you
  i am at a loss
for other words
  and yet i know
these are not sufficient.
