You Like Me More

You showed up early just to say “I’m late,” Kind of funny how you do that every date. You say it’s not a crush, you’re “just being nice,” But you bring me coffee made exactly right. Oh please, you act like you’re so hard to read— You hold the door then stare right at me. You say you’re chill, you say you’re cool, But you talk to your friends like I’m headline news. Yeah… somebody’s got it bad. You like me more. Don’t try to fight it, I can tell for sure. The way you smile when I’m out the door— Yeah, you like me more. No, you like me. You blush too fast, it’s so easy to see. If you’re not careful it’s gonna be Obvious as can be— That you like me. You saved the voice notes that I sent last week. Who does that? That’s borderline sweet. You play my favorite song “by accident,” Then hum along like you’re heaven-sent. You wear that perfume only when I’m around— Don’t pretend you didn’t choose that sound. You stare at me, then look away, Like you forgot how flirting plays. Yeah… somebody’s falling quick. You like me more. You get that grin you can’t hide anymore. I see it every time I close the door— Baby, you like me more. No, you like me. I see that sparkle every time I speak. Don’t even try to act so carefree— You’re losing miserably… ’Cause you like me. You text me first— You always call. You plan the nights— You start them all. You laugh too loud— You stare too long. Face it… we’ve both been gone. You like me more— No, you like me more— Oh, we’re keeping score? (We’re tied for sure.) ’Cause truth be told, behind the war… We’re both done for. Yeah… you like me, And I like you more. Fine, you win. No, you do. We’re ridiculous. I like that about us
