He Said He Likes Me
He said he likes me
Never did I care
Never did I want
To be liked
To be cared for
A strong independent women
Was what i claimed myself to be
Never to fall prey
Never to cry tears
Like my mother
Like my father
You said you liked me
That you'd take care of me
You chose your timing right
The time I was at my lowest
All I wanted was
To be loved
To be cared for
I said I liked you
'Cos you liked me first
If things go right
Would I change
Would I like you less
If I did
Would you still like me
Fight for me
Or would you let me go

This is a good poem and I think it has a certain message. I think it speaks to me in a way that the girl lacked love in her life as her parents did not portray it. So when she finally found someone that could care for her and give her that love she easily fell prey and liked him fast. However, she is in doubt and is afraid that "what if" things change. Would he still love her or maybe he would abandon her like what her parents did?
