I Like You

I like you, but not like a crashing world,

A bliss that\'s overbearing, all unfurled.

I like you, and remembered what it meant,

A feeling that\'s true, and has been since early morn.

 

From the sun\'s first wake to the evening moon\'s shine,

I like you, and let that be a sign.

I like you, and I know you, I wonder too,

Your dreams and desires, what they mean for you.

 

It took me a second, but I got there,

With the quote that\'s dear, that I like you, I declare.

Every morning, I used to say, \"I like you,\"

For the next person, like is extra, but I do.

 

I like you, you\'re stronger than anyone knows,

And in the mirror, you don\'t see any cracks or woes.

They don\'t know your worries, they just see a face so darling,

I like you, and I\'ll let the world know, that it\'s not just a whimsy whirling.

 

But every day, when I wake up, the words I say,

Are \"I like myself today,\" and if they can\'t appreciate,

It\'s their fault, and they can take it up with God,

Go to hell, if I care, but by the way, I like you.

 

Nothing else left to say, it\'s true and plain to see,

I like you, and the world knows

it, so it\'s meant to be.
