I think I might be liking you
and though there are some that believe in
love at first sight, I’ve always liked
that phase just before
the sun gets high in the sky
like when there’s still dew on the ground
and still a twinkle in your eye
like the calm before a storm of emotion
that floods the streets and
stalls out your car
like that moment when we
haven’t gone far enough
but we haven’t gone too far
Yes I’m just liking you so much
and it’s just so nice to be
liking the way you look and
liking the way you look at me
I’m liking more than just your voice
I’m liking it when your words get lost
liking the silence on your lips
like fresh lip gloss
liking everything about you and
especially this perfect moment just before
we notice that first thing we - don’t like
And it just feels so good to be
liking you so much that I
told my mother I was liking you
and she reminded me that
liking leads to hugging and
hugging leads to loving and
I’m not going so far as to say
that liking you
is better than loving you
I just really wanna keep on liking you
cause I’m really liking
liking the possibilities
