I Don't Love You...Yet

With you I see the others melt away

And even if you do not stay

I'll never forget the courage you gave me

On how to smile and how to believe

 

You showed that life was more than just what others said

Told me to relax, to not let it go to my head

Together we laugh, and although we're nothing serious

I needed someone like you, a friendship like this

 

I knew you were a friend when I called you in tears

And poured out my heart, my worries, my fears

You calmly explained that it was all okay

And just like that you lit up my day

 

I don't wanna say that I love you...yet

It's too strong a word, too complicated

But my tounge is numb and my eyes are too wet

To say that I love you, so I don't....not yet

 

We walked along the beach and saw that awkward blue jay

Who was the only bird looking the other way

We laughed, we talked, we acted carefree

I was happy here with you, were you happy here with me?

 

I knew you were a friend when I heard a specific song

And I immedietly thought of you when it came on

I kept it to myself, too scared to say more

Afraid of being left behind, on the other side of the shutting door

 

I don't wanna say that I love you...yet

It's too strong a word, too complicated

But my tounge is numb and my eyes are too wet

To say that I love you, so I don't...not yet

 

I remember how awkward it was when we first met that day

You liked cards, so I took mine out, said "You wanna trade?"

My face was hot, my heart was beating much too fast

I was too excited to listen, to make the moment last

 

I never ask how you're feeling inside

Whether full of sadness or full of pride

The door is opening, the line of welcoming thin

But I'm too scared to start, too nervous to walk in

 

I don't wanna say that I love you...yet

It's too strong a word, too complicated

But my tounge is numb and my eyes are too wet

To say that I love you, so I don't...not yet

 

I wanna do nothing but fall into a deep long sleep

Dreaming of memories of our days and our weeks

I wanna never wake up, wanna sleep in a never-ending overdose

Never wanna face the world, don't wanna leave my comatose

 

"He's gonna go away, so don't cry when he does!"

They all wanna warn me, but I don't listen because

That day should be far off, it should be long out of reach

So for now hes still here, still standing beside me

 

I don't wanna say that I love you...yet

It's too strong a word, too complicated

But my tounge is numb and my eyes are too wet

To say that I love you, so I don't...not yet

 

So one day you will turn and slowly walk away

but for now, I hope you're here to stay

Maybe one day, it'll be love, but for now it's just "like"

But for now, let's just live, while our "like" is still alive

I really liked this, it was really cute, but I think certain spots need some editing. Some of the syllables in different lines don't really match, like the number of them, and some lines are just longer than others, or don't rhyme, which I think with this poem they should since you had such a cute little flow going. Keep it up, it just needs a little work :3
