WHY SOME LIKE US AND OTHERS DO NOT--HOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO YOU ARE.
REALATIONSHIPS

I sometimes stop to wonder
how it comes to be
that sometimes I meet someone
who ends up liking me.

I catch every word
and enjoy what he says.
We enjoy each other’s company
even when nothing is said.

And other times no matter
how hard I try to flatter
to catch their ear,
or change my way,
it never seems to matter.

Over time I’ve learned
that no matter what I do
or say
will have little to do
with who will like me
most that day.

Its not how I dress
or what I say
or pretending someone else

Because now I know




No matter what I do
has less to do with me
and more to do with you,
when it comes to liking me.

For you are all those people
I chance meet every day
and now I’ve learned
to just be myself
to hear what you might say.

And one or two
out of ten or twelve
will like just who I am.
And if I take that extra time
I’ll learn
what’s best about them.

Not every time
will I ever know
just why they like me so,
and not everyone
that likes me so
will I end up liking them.

So I decided
to just be myself
and love me for what I love best,
and find those that like me,
as much as I like them,
and forget about the rest.
