I Don't Like You

a generic free-verse love-in-denial poem

I don't like you.
I don't like the way you smile.
I don't love your smirks and the way
the corners of your eyes crinkle when you laugh at me.
I don't love making you laugh.
I don't think about you a lot.
Not on my way to school.
Not right before we go to class.
Not when your presence clouds me
Like a velvety blanket of warmth and comfort.
Nope.

I don't like you.
I don't like the way you walk down the hallway.
I don't like how you seem so strong, how you stand tall above all the others;
Yet I know that you have your weak moments
And inside, you can be as weak as I am.
I don't like that you can hold strong on the outside.
I don't like that.
Nope.

I don't like the way you make me feel.
I don't like it when you notice when I'm gone, when you talk to me when I'm here, when you give me space when I need it.
I don't like being comfortable but nervous around you.
I don't like not liking the feeling of knowing that I might like you.
I don't like it.
I don't like you.

I don't.

...I can't.

No.

NOTES:
So yeah. Idk. This is about no one... in particular... Or is it? (HAHA NOW YOU'RE CONFUSED)

P.s. It's not.
P.p.s. It is.
P.p.p.s. Are you still reading?
P.p.p.p.s It's definitely about you.

Bleh. Teenage feels give me inspiration.
Derp.

"And we will never be alone again, 'cause it doesn't happen every day... kinda counted on you being a friend. Can I give it up or give it away? Now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go so I chained myself to a friend, 'cause I know it unlocks like a door."
"My gears, they grind more each day, and I feel like they're gonna grind away. And the city blocks, they drive me wild, they're never ending, mile after mile. I just don't know what to do, I'm too afraid to love you."
