"I liked you better...before we had love"
  by Shy Gyrl


I liked you better,
when all u could do was write letters to me.
When I,
u couldnt see.
Me,
but in the midnight escapes of your sweet dreams.
I liked you more when you were bossy,
and never let yourself hit hard on the floor.
But even though you were afraid to let go,
i would be your emotional post,
Holding you upright so u wouldnt explode.
But now its like you'd rather deal with things on your own.
And i cant argue but to sit and watch you...
once again fighting alone.
I kissed you more,
when u weren't afraid of this love we had to show.
Never hesitated to kiss your lips
cuz i knew i had every right to do this.
But now it seems like we look at each other from a distance,
and cant make up our minds....
Did we let time,
erase from our minds,
all the times,
we laughed and held each other under dim street lights,
that escaped clouded gray nights?
When we had nobody else to run to,
but the corners of our minds...
i had you...
but that was then,
and then was when i liked u more than now,
because i dont know how we're gonna see far
if we dont communicate like we're supposed to be...
in love?
I liked you better when u just whispered in my ears,
called me all the time to hear my voice...
**smiles in rememberance**
never had to go alicia keys on your ass...
Wondering "how come u dont call me anymore?"
But now im wondering...
and wondering if your setting foot outside my door.
I liked you better,
when i could say "i love you",
and you'd always respond with "i love you too".
Even if i'd dissappoint you "i'd say i love you".
And even if u were annoyed,
i'd still get my "i love you" with extra suga to the side,
cuz u let me know i was boo.
But Now i say "i love you" and u just respond with "love"
I liked u better before we became an us.
Because it was easier to say love
when it was a friendship built with trust.
Now I never should have joined you in saying "love"...
If I knew it would hurt not hearing it,
from the only one I know as being my own,
my one,
true friend,
in love.

real talk and I felt every line.your flow is inescapable. What sets this apart is that is lacks the fear emotion so much as the longing. I appreciate u for this piece I can relate to almost 80% of it...this is one of those that pushes beyond "10" for me...thank you
