Things that I like

I like it that when I look at you
and you smile at me
I can smile back

I like it that when I'm in my room
and doors are slamming
and voices are screaming
the flower you drew on my hand is still there

I like it that when it rains
I'm not sad
Because I think of that time we ran in the rain
and you were holding my hand and you didn't let go

I like it that I can see the beach from my window
The same sea that we walked through
Not talking. Just
being with each other

I like your laugh

I like it that I still have your jacket
sitting on the back of my chair
and I like that you haven't asked for it back

I like waking up in the morning
and seeing your watch on my dresser
I like putting it on and wearing it all day

I like it that the CD you made for me is always in my CD player
and I still haven't taken off that necklace

I like that when you whispered-
I love you-
I think you meant it

I like
you.
