It doesn’t matter if you ever loved me,
It is not what I needed in my heart
I only needed you to just like me
So that I could pine when we were apart
It didn’t matter that you were pretty
And it didn’t matter that you were smart
You inspired me to live, explore, and see
Learned to like poetry and fine art
When you are young, “like-like” is enough,
You are so naive and incompetent.
Maybe all that time, it was just a crush
But I can say it gave me confidence
I may not be in love, or burn a flame
But in my mind, I loved you all the same
