I Like You

I like you
I can't bring myself to tell

We only met a few months ago
And yet I know you so well

The way you talk to me
My heart begins to flutter

The way you cheer me up
I know there is no other

You speak of finding love
I wish that you could see

I am right here
Wanting you with me

I cannot determine what you feel
But I wish the feeling were love

I pray for God to help me
From the Heavens up above

It's what's on the inside that counts
I know you have a kind heart

You look good on the outside too
Your hair sparkles in the sun

I really really like you
I needed you to know

Don't let it ruin our frienship
It's as beautiful as a dove

Wow. I am moved by this poem. I recently went through a relationship where I shared so much of myself with a guy for two years and I thought what we had was love, but he ended it and I was heartbroken. And then I realized that while I had poured my everything into our relationship, he was emotionally cheating on me with another woman he had known for years. It still hurts to have been betrayed like that.
Your words have touched me because I know what it is like to work so hard for the affections and attention of a guy...and sometimes it feels like a losing battle. I hope that your story has a happy ending, friend. :) Can't wait to read more of your writing. I love your writing style.

[Chain of Hearts]

I love it! The rhyming makes it so catchy and meaningful at the same time. I love the line, 'I cannot determine what you feel, But I wish the feeling were love'. I can visualize it so easily, this poem is such a beautiful, heartfelt piece.
Awesome job!

[Cool Girl]

aww thanks!!
I really appreciate it :)

[Chain of Hearts]

No problem, I love how we can share our opinions on WritersCafe! I was looking for a place like this for a long time...and I found it!

[Chain of Hearts]

[Lavender Soya]

Nice work Cool Girl! It's cute and engaging. The rhythm and rhyme scheme is brilliant. Kudos! :-)

[Cool Girl]

Thanks so much!!

[Mary Bradley]

I like it a lot ! ... sometimes we denied ourselves of a true love feeling just because we feel attraction to someone else charms . Love is constant while charm is just a charm .

[Cool Girl]

Very very true...
Thanks again!!

[Elie Marie]

Sometimes people are in denial of how they feel or how others feel or how both people feel.
yup yup...
and as i've learned, better say too much than not enough. Better say it, just say it.
Good poem.

[Cool Girl]

I did tell them, and we're still friends:) but I'm really happy about that!!

[Elie Marie]

that's really great. Me too... except we're in love but we're just friends and it's awful. haha

[Cool Girl]

xD good luck then:)

[Elie Marie]

hah, thanks.

[Cool Girl]

You're welcome:)

[The StoryTeller]

I agree with Vince that this was a good poem. I don't understand how things can go unnoticed either, because some people clearly you can tell like someone. And it's like everyone else sees it but the person. They don't. I think you illustrated that greatly, as well as how you feel while going through that, and how you feel when you really, really, really like someone. Great job!

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review. I really appreciate it:)

[Cool Girl]

Thank you for talking the time to read and review. I really appreciate it:)

[The StoryTeller]

No problem, send me any more read requests for writing you want me to review. Question though, why was the comment in the middle deleted by the poster? Did you post that? What did it say?

[Cool Girl]

I accidentally posted the same comment twice, so I deleted one.

[The StoryTeller]

Oh, that makes sense. XD

[Mason Red]

Beautiful poem really. Makes you wonder how some things can go unnoticed. I hope this will change! The rhythm is really good. I missed some rhyme here and there where I expected it, but meaning and expression go before rhyme, right? Feel free to send me another request!

[Cool Girl]

Thank you. To be honest, i wasn't trying to rhyme. I guess it just sort of happened xD
Im glad you enjoyed this piece:) thanks again!

[Mason Red]

Haha, on that note, never mind :P I'm don't do much poetry so I don't know the standards. Only what I hear in general. Going to try it soon, though. Cheers!

[willweb]

This was beautiful. Your poerty is always so happy...at least what I have read. I hope your dream comes true.

[Cool Girl]

Thank you, Will. Actually, a lot of my poetry is sad, but im trying to write some happier pieces now. I don't want sadness to come to mind when someone hears my name. Instead, I want people to recognize my happiness:)
