This is another poem from “back in the day”, way back, in fact. I hope you like it. It’s not the best poem I ever wrote, but the feelings are what were important and I think I caught those.
I like you.
I like knowing you
(not biblically.)
I don’t like everything you do,
you don’t like some things I don’t do.
But I like you, the person, very much.
I like
your smile
seeing your look-alike in a TV movie
your honesty
knowing you watch me when I’m not looking
your consideration
when you’re a little shy
often when you’re not
talking with you
having a beer with you
kissing you and getting the bruise you gave me
holding you while you sleep on the couch
during a football game.
You.
I don’t know why but that poem makes me feel comfortable.

Danny, I’m glad. It grew from a feeling of being comfortable with someone so I’m very happy that came through so strongly.

It is nice when your posts come through as intended. The opposite, as you know, can occur. I wrote one last week and received a lot of nice comments but not one got the main point I was getting at. Perhaps I hid it too well.

I don’t know…that poem makes me UNcomfortable 😉
I guess it’s good to know that your parents have feelings too 🙂
Those are old feelings, if that makes you feel any better, and not about Dad. 🙂
Sweet. The feelings do come through.
Glad you liked it, Kim. It’s something I might do differently now, but I think it aged well.
