![]() I Do Not Know Why I Like YouA Poem by Lindsay ElizabethWhen I try to think of the reason why I like you I can't because my head starts to feel dizzy like the first time you kissed me and the world turned itself over and emptied my pockets onto the ground taking everything I thought I knew out, replacing it with everything I did not know or did not believe or did not realize and at that moment the only thing I was sure of was that one foot in front of the other would lead me to my doorstep. When I try to think of the reason why I like you I can't because I am far too distracted by the way that your eyes reflect our world that I see through my own and by the rhythm that our dreams create which leads me to believe that there must be some greater force binding our subconscious together in marriage. I think that perhaps those poets might have gotten it right: Two hearts can be carried in one; No soy ni eres sino que somos. And still, I cannot think of the reason why I like you. I cannot because I love you. You, who have taught me that rose-colored glasses are really quite unnecessary. You, and the lasting impressions you leave on me until finally your imprint becomes my own. You, in the way you make my heartbeat beat poetry. You. I love you and you are my reason.
