Love to like, like you

Not strictly impossible to like when loved,
like you like to love..
love to watch you brush your long hair, 
especially when you don't necessarily
notice me liking you there. 

Like the swish of your air conditioner fans
and the cool breeze when they air condish..
so like long walks with a short blonde
when she's feeling loved, secure,
and unselfish.

Like the setting of your sun, the dimming of my day,
though another autumn's begun, still like to remember
our May. 

There! exciting anticipation of a summer night's kiss,
holding your hand, feeling the warmth on my skin-
leaves me wondering what's more right than you,
than us, 
than this.
