Just Because MAG

By Anonymous

     Just because I love being with you
Doesn't mean I have plans to stick around
Just because I think you're cool
Doesn't mean I'll heed all your advice
Just because you're beautiful to me
Doesn't mean I am willing to be your slave
Just because you're so damn funny
Doesn't mean you're the reason I always smile
Just because I put up with your silly mind games
Doesn't mean I'm oblivious to who you really are
And just because I like you so much
Doesn't mean I've fallen in love.
Don't misunderstand my friendship,
Never underestimate my feelings,
I won't get hurt all over again.

Your poem flows perfectly and I like how direct your statements are. Each feeling is backed by a description and the whole poem is relatable at several levels. It's great!

Very good, and accurate! Relationship poems are some of the hardest to write because of the emotion, but you nailed it! Nice job!

I don't have a boyfriend. I have a dog.

This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. I fell in love with him, and this explains the emotion i still have.
