I Like You

I like you

Like, I really like you

And I know you’ll never notice

Of all things in your life

I’m the least in focus

But, of course, I’m not the only one

There’s hardly a single person in this world you’ve left to stun

I know at least six other people who feel the same as me

Half a dozen different faces that your heart has yet to see

Girl, you’ve got a harem in the making

A whole room full of hearts you’ve set an-aching

We see your achievements 

The large and the small

And wanna let you know that we’ll be there for them all

But please, there’s just one issue that we’ve come to

Tell us who will the girl and who will the ‘adieu’

Will you ever pick just one of us to stick with or to run to

Or are the chances too small for any breakthrough?

Honestly, I think I’m lucky when we’re alone

And I’m jumping and excited by the time that I get home

I know, the chances of you and me are far too slim

But at least the future, for me, is not too grim 

Because, with me, at least, you look me in the eyes

You don’t apologize, 

When you take me by surprise 

You laugh 

At all my stupid jokes and sorry hymns 

For just a simple smile I’d obey your every whim

I love it when you lean in as we share ideas in class

And my heart starts beatin’ fast

With every note you passed

So now in the end I just want you to know

That all I want for you is to be free to live and grow

And if there’s still a chance I can be there for it all

Just let me know, all you need to do is call
