I'm trying not to like you
As much as I do
Sorry my dear
If it slips through
If only your eyes
Were not quite so piercing
I'd have an easier time
At what I've been rehearsing
Maybe it's your hair
The way it tumbles and falls
That keeps me from
An iron resolve
Then again there's your voice
And of course your smile
They make not liking you
A difficult trial
Yes I could mention
Your wit, charm and grace
But none of them help
Keep me in my place
Your laugh, your wisdom
Distract me from my course
They keep reminding me
Of what I swore I'd not endorse
So love
I will keep trying
But my heart
It's just not buying
