I Don'T Love You
I DON'T LOVE YOU (I JUST LIKE YOU)
You keep staring
From the corner of your eyes.
You look at me,
While I’m looking away.
When I look back,
You shudder and retreat.
Both of us know
What you are doing.
You drop hints about your love for me.
Come close, egg me into proposing you.
But you can’t make me fall in love.
‘Cause it’s clear that I don’t love you.
I just like you child-like smile,
You innocent gaze,
Your caught-in-the-act
And then embarrassed phase.
The movement of your hands,
Stealing sights a few,
Giving a side glance,
I just like you.
Your friends,
They know all about this.
They are helping you
Bridge the gap between us.
Trying to get us
Into talking,
Trying to develop
The love that they can’t.
I might try to test the water.
Go close, then hold myself back.
No you can’t make me fall in love.
‘Cause I know that I don’t love you.
I just like your black spects,
Your glad days,
Your showing off
And then shocked face.
The sound of your voice,
The deep red hue
On your swollen cheeks,
I just like you.
No! This is not possible.
Not letting my guard down.
I’m preoccupied with my goals.
Love is the last thing on my mind.
You could climb the stepping stones to my heart,
Only to find a deserted mountain peak.
No you can’t make me fall in love.
It’s sorted out that I don’t love you.
I just like your child-like smiles,
Your innocent gaze,
Your caught-in-the-act
And then embarrassed phase.
Your leather jacket,
Your brown hair too,
Your tied plait,
I just lov---- like you.
