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  ¶ 8:30 PM
