You didn't ask for this
But I'm going to tell you
I am not in love
Your name isn't the song playing on my mind on repeat when I am alone
Nor your voice is the echo I hear when the night is a bit forlorn
It's not your favorite cologne that I smell whenever I walk down the road
I don't look around for the black Montero that you drive when there's a heavy traffic
I don't automatically like your posts on IG
And view all your posted My Day's and Stories
I get curious, too, you know
Each notification enticing me to click every update you post
Your birthday isn't the only date I know
It's just that yours is the first thing that comes to mind when the calendar says it is already August two
I am not in love with the morning and goodnight messages
Nor with the how are you's and see you later's
I am not in love, you know
My heart didn't race when you asked to grab coffee and there was a smile on your face
I am not in love when I wrote you poems
Nor I am in love with the book and movie recommendations you give
I didn't save the voice clips of you singing my favorite songs
I didn't delete those either
I am not in love, you know
I am not in love with you
