The Conversation I Wish I Could Have With You

Special thanks to Spanky and the Gang with the song "I'd Like to Get To Know You".

Hey.
I like you.
The weird thing is, I'm not a fan of you.
You're just too brash and boyish and loud.
But I remember one time, when we were on our way home.
You laughed; An honest and innocent one devoid of all facades.
You hid the tough exterior for just a while. I got to say, you hooked me.

Look, I can't promise you that you won't get hurt.
But I can promise, that I'd never want to.
I can't promise that I'll love you as well.
I've ran past these roads before but right now,
call me old, but I'm content walking with
you by my side, our hands accidentally meeting
like star-crossed lovers in a random night;
the thrill to part and to meet again.
And to be satisfied.

All I can promise is
that I'd like to get to know you,
And Hey.
I like you.

This sounds familiar. I love that you put it in a conversational way, like you would have said it on a normal day. A sweet poem you got here, man. Good job! I love it.
