I Was Looking For A Friend, You Were Looking For More Poem by Ray Hansell

If I said, I love you
Would you laugh at me?
Or would you just turn your head
Then ask how could that be?

We’ve only known each other
For just a short time
There’s no way that your heart
Could have captured mine

I would say I like you
But that’s it for now
But for you to love me
I just don’t know how

Maybe with the passage of time
My love for you will grow
But we’ll have to wait and see
Because right now I don’t know

I did not try to mislead you
Or try to string you along
I would never do that
Because I know it’s wrong

I just said, I liked you
You are great company
But for now that’s all you are
Is company for me

I don’t want a relationship
I do want to commit
We have to wait for a while
To see if we’re a good fit

I will let you know
When I feel love for you
But for right now
I’m happy being friends with you
