I Like You

Suzanne Mondoux · 21 November 2020

Under the shooting stars the raiders of our cities linger The branches of the trees fall apart all around us I like you and my hand reaches out I know there is more in your soul then what’s not spoken I surrender to this fantasy of a moment Calmly I walk this world with ground crumbling beneath my feet No one ever told me when I came here humans would hurt me so much Hurt themselves so much I like you thought because it’s better then the alternative The sentimental being that I am I know you are the same I asked to explore this world in human form And to my surprise I have never experienced so much love To my surprise --- you play with it You abandon it You toy with it But I like you for you are human and I am not, only temporary I shall return home soon But I will always remember the human in you I like you When I talk of you, I’ll talk of love I’ll engage the conservation I’ll illustrate the beauty of your being We hope one day you will return to you --- the human being your were meant to be How and why you were create is of no matter We like you Do you like you
