Shallow.
That's how I feel when you tell me, "I like you."
You've captured my thoughts. Congrats. What about my heart?
Was it ever yours?
No.

Is that my fault? Have I never opened my heart enough? Why haven't I? Will someone inform me of what exactly warped my emotions oh-so long ago?
I was afraid that your heart would be placed in my hands too quickly. That's why I asked for a month. I'm glad I did.
So you still like her? That's fine with me. You probably think that it's hard for me to hear that; but, the truth is I'm relieved. I don't have to turn you down - or worse. Suffer through a bad relationship.
Why? I don't think your head is mature enough, and I don't think my heart is naive enough.
Plus - I didn't want to kiss you. That would have been awkward.

It's difficult wanting to like you and not wanting to date you. (Re-read that sentence... it'll take a little thought to comprehend. Actually, it'll take a lot. ~ Okay, to be perfectly honest, that's how I feel. But I don't know why.)
Maybe we're to learn from each other? Mistakes are indefinitely more bearable when others make them for you.
I don't mind if you use me and then set me aside. Truthfully, I don't.
Isn't that the purpose of a heartless doll?
