There Was Always Something About You That I Liked

There was always something about you that I liked

I didn’t follow you or get to know you

But I was aware of you

And there was always something about you that I liked

Maybe it was because I liked the things you helped make

I felt at home while playing on the rocky cliffs overlooking the ocean

I felt at home while diving in and out of the waves, and digging in the sand

I felt at home while walking in the woods and climbing trees

I’ve always felt like someone on the outside looking in

I don’t do well with the proud, or those who apparently have it all together

I’d rather sit on the curb with the kid no one at school likes

I’d rather be in the company of those who are misfits in this world

There was always something about you that I liked

Now that I follow you and have gotten to know and love you

I am more aware of your Presence in the places I feel at home

I am more aware of your Presence with the people I enjoy being with

I guess that is why there was always something about you that I liked
