I Like You

I walk into class and start to glance around
my observance of the room isn't complete
until I've finally met your eyes 
and than I smile.

Well hello today my beautiful friend
I could write poetry about your adorable 
dimples and talk for hours about your grin

We are more than acquaintances 
so after class we eat lunch together
and as we sit I smile and nod but still
I am in awe of you. 

I can't believe he made you like this
so perfect for me 
we can talk about anything 
because we both value honesty 

I've grown accustom to this arrangement
yet this friendship is slightly tainted 
because I am also becoming bored 
with having to keep these feeling in.

I give you advice about her
even though I know she isn't the one
I refuse to open your eyes 
it has to be you that realizes 
what your really worth 

So each day I'm your good friend
who has always longed for more.
I day dream about your lips
and for what could be in store.

We belong together 
It's as obvious as 1, 2, 3 
I just wish you could realize 
even so I'll always like you
I wish that changed anything
