Inside Out...
Why Do I Like Thee?
Because you are scared,
By the slightest whisper
Because you are jealous,
When the time doesn’t call for it
Because you are weak,
No more than a straw
Because you are indecisive,
When others are on the line
Because you are aggressive,
When those close to you are threatened
Because you are ambitious,
Despite other ends
Because you are determined,
When the walls break down
Because you are fun-loving,
In times of love-end
Because you are beautiful,
Inside and out
Because you are smart,
In heart more than mind
Because you are kind,
Even to those who aren’t
Because you are loving,
When love doesn’t love back
Because you are caring,
As God called to be
Because you are passionate,
In more ways than one
Because you understand,
What other people don’t
Because you can see,
What the eyes cannot
Because you can feel,
The same way that I do
Because you make me smile,
When I thought it was too hard
Because you are special,
To me and to others
Because you are all that,
And more for me to see
Why do I like thee?
Isn’t it obvious?
Count the number of reasons,
And you shall see…
I like thee because you are thee
