I Don't Like That About You...

I found something today
I don't like about you.
Funny,
I had seen it many times before,
and it just didn't dawn on me
what it was
I was seeing...
and feeling.

The time we had today
was like many other times
we shared...
yet different, also.

The easy smiles,
the conversation light,
and easy.
I don't even think
we said "I love you"
even once...
but it was understood.

There was a comfort level reached
like no other we've reached before.
The gentle meeting of two
knowing the time spent
with each other
wasn't hurried, nor rushed.

There were even Kodak moments
that when I looked back,
had left you smiling
a big beautiful smile
and shaking your head
in disbelief.

But then it happened
and everything changed.
I still can't believe
there's something about you
I really don't like.

I guess
if I had thought about it sooner
I would have called your attention to it...
or at least we could have talked about it.

As it is...
it's something you need to know and understand.
I don't like it
anytime... you leave.
