I like you.

I don’t really enjoy falling in love

But I prefer it to falling in like

It doesn’t come with silly butterflies everytime someone says your name

It doesn’t come with too much laughter whenever we’re talking

When I’m in love

I don’t stutter

I don’t fall at first glance

When I’m in love

I’m in love with the parts of you I chose to accept

But I don’t love you,

I like you.

Or so I tell myself.

Even though there’s no stuttering

No matter how giddy I get

You get me high like a fever

You’re burning my skin

AndthatisthemostunromanticthingI’veeversaidinaromancepoem

I’m not sure what I’m feeling

But these feelings I have for you

I feel them more strongly than I ever have

Truly, I do

More than all my old boyfriends and lovers and forget-me-nots

You do something to me

I’d rather not explain

Because I never thought it could happen

To me at this age

So please stay out of my daydreams

So I can find a reason to sleep

And please stay out of my WhatsApp

So I don’t call you thrice a week

To ~O,

Please leave ny heart alone
