Don't know

I told her it needs to be polished, but still, I liked her inspiration, hope you do too:

"Summer has ended"

Whether you agree or nor'

Been asked if I liked you
I stood there,
not savvying the answer.

I wanted to say yes,
But I did not know
For sure whether or not

So I engaged Myself
To discover the right response
For this quest'

Tried to rationalize:
Why would I like you?
How d'you make me feel?
What is to be delighted or not?
                      [Not useful]

So I threw myself in memories:
When together I'm safe or away?
What is the best picture on our wall?
                      [Not certain]

So I imaged the worst scenario possible:
Unavailability.
You being entitled,
Giving and having someone's loyalty.

But I did not feel. Anything.
Nor anger. No jealousy.
Nor loneliness. Maybe a little of all?
By all means, maybe, numb, I felt?
                      [But then, I cried]

For that I knew.
For then I realized.
I understood why.
                      [I like you]

I did not feel angry 'cause I knew
It wasn't mine to be, nor fell.
Nor jealousy, 'cause I'd hope she'd
give you what I would in he place.

For the reason that you,
You choose her.
For that I trust your decision,
And heart-lust.
                      [Simply]

They said that,
The great time away
Would evolve as all others have.
                      [Not with the one you knew]

Nevertheless, I didn't feel lonely,
'Cause I knew you'd be happy.
Surely you'd be missed.
                      [However, your smile closes the deal]
