I love you Like how I love orchids and irises   But I want them  poted in the soil so they can stay alive I love you  Like I love the smell of the beach Like I love the smell of the mountains in early dusk as the leaves are dew-covered   Fresh   I love you Like a pair of broken-in jeans  Distressed and vaguely familiar Like a pair of memory foam fitted running shoes Like a glove fitted dress  That makes me feel like a 10 when I'm only a 6   I love you like  My favorite song I will replay over and over again at  the same part But only for a single day   I love you like a Like a sushi roll Like a baked sweet potato Like a soft-serve frozen yogurt   I love you like a  Cotton candy-eque sunset Like a box of kittens Like a brand newborn puppy that has yet to open its wee little peepers to see the world.   I love you like the feeling of going home After a long day Like the familiarity of my favorite drink at my favorite hour.  Like dancing with someone who makes me feel sexy   I love you like I love my friends Like I love my pets Like I love the landscape of a destination In a Faraway place  These are the ways I love you...   But, I am not in love with you,   Because being "in love",   would mean I have to know you.   And I don't know you...   Do I?   I don't know your favorite color is Your favorite place Your favorite food   I don't know the feeling of familiarity of touching your face.   I don't know the exact shade of blue your eyes are.   I don't know who you look up to the most   I don't know your greatest regret   Your greatest accomplishment   Something you're proud you made.    I don't know what makes you sad Or mad   What makes you wanna be a better man   I don't know if you are sloppy or tidy If you are kind to others  or indifferent I don't know what influences you.   Mostly I don't know what you want from me I don't know if you care  Care Care or get a kick out of a reaction   No   I don't know you...  Do I? I don't know if you simply want attention  If you liked the ego boost the admiration   If you want A Simp   A female gaze to persuade you of your worth.   I don't know if you did care.  Care Care About... Me? Or the contents of my mind. No   I don't know   If what I wrote changed you  or what you thought about me.   I don't know if you lost respect for me   If I Lost your interest  Lost your friendship  Lost your trust.   I just don't know.  I don't If you are in love with someone else If you've been heartbroken or the heart breaker.   And if I did know.   I would respect the answers   But   I didn't catch feelings the way you think   Because that would mean   I'd know you.   Talk to you.  Touch you  Smell you  Listen to you   I can't catch feelings from the thought of a loving feeling.   But I do love you.   I'm not in love,  there is a difference.   And seeing as you have been reading my thoughts and wordy songs   Seeing as we have been following  each other along with this game of tag Of tug a war.   If you have no feelings for me other than pity, and disdain.  Then I'd believe you if you told me so.  To me, I fell in love with being seen for something other than my appearance.   And if you didn't see me for anything else   If you didn't see past what can be seen By the eyes   Then I don't love you at all.
