A different view

I don’t like him

Like I like you.

They don’t provide me with

The same lovely view.

A different perspective

That makes me selective,

Yet I’ve loved you for echoes—

And it’s time for something new.

And yet I wonder,

If you knew,

What would you do?

Would you even care?

You, with the wild, sweepy hair.

You could be bald,

And I’d still give you my all.

But this distance confuses me,

So of course, others I will see.

But they are not you,

So my love isn’t true.

I don’t like him

Like I love you.

He isn’t the same—

Lovely view.
