i like you too

I like you,
And I don’t mean you YOU like you’re the centerpiece center midpoint macadamia nut cookie honey
I mean like you’re awesome. Like my heart gives way and slips down.
oOpsie daisy.
I mean I like making you feel good and giggle
And two bits of sunshine
And modern design
like
Rock-a-bye baby
Habits reversing memories
YOU
I yearn to discover this side dish lavender serenades
honey kisses and blowing bubbles
I promise I’ll say words like may I
I’d wing it for you.
I’d swing from the roof.
We’d explode on contact
I’m not neatly fixed.
And we can kiss until, until.
Regrets can wait no decaf
We can skip and laugh.
And we can splash in a Jacuzzi bath
We can sit n stare at each other
It’ll be a blast
I wanna make a list of dreams we can do and go get them.
I wanna make you my favorite blend of tea and read to you.
I like you,
Like 800 ibuprofens, like sleeping in sleepovers, like too close for comfort,
Like fresh fruit and soft music, like 4 a.m.
Like as soon as you stop sending me texts then I already miss you
DOOMED
Better than these girl scout trefoils
Bigger than the printer beeping annoying noises
Stronger than the Chai they made me too strong this morning
But not small enough to fit under the wall I built to keep from harm
And I like it
Every moment that isn’t really real
Because we’re just convincing each others’ representatives’
Sort of like
the turkey club sandwich with roasted tomatoes and 9 whole grain wheat bread
And the yellow signal flag that says slow down ahead
And all the warnings I’ve given myself
Meshed with all the times I’ve ever said I can’t bother with falling in love
Because I’d rather like instead.

Yea. Like that. Pretty much, yea.
