I wrote a poem. It is a new poem. I like it. I hope you like it too.



at first
liking you was a game i played
because i thought i could win
and the audience cheered
everytime i made a play

things changed

now
liking you is harder
because i know i can't win
and the audience has turned it's back on me
and begun making bets on other players

it's all very simple really
i like you
and i've convinced myself
without ever asking
that you do not like me back

i look at you
with affection pouring from my eyes
you look at me
with an expression i cannot decode
but i know what i wish for

when i see you
i always wish i could go to you
hold your hand and kiss your lips
with the ease that comes
when i know you are mine

it's all very simple really
i wish for you
and all i really want
without all the mess of actually telling you
is for you to wish for me
