I like you

I like you just the way you are. I like your quirky smiles. I like how you can't look at me for long when talking to me because you felt shy. I like how your hoodies often match with my day , gloomy and depressing.

But most importantly, I like myself more when I'm with you. I smile more often at the thought or sight of you. Or when my best friend whispers , " Hey he has been looking at you since just now." I actually feel more confident because to you I look fine. I like how much effort I put in to keep you, because you were worth my time .

But now, you're so far away but the memories stay with me . I understand , you got bored after a while or maybe you realised that I wasn't worth your time anymore. Yet at 3am, I just feel more alone than ever because I used to be laughing along with your voice but now I'm back to fighting the demons in my head.

You didn't even have to fight them for me , you sang them to sleep . But now, you're the demon and I can't fight you.
