semi-in-love

is it possible to be semi-in-love with you?
too scared to actually want to be all the way in love with you.
i'll step back for a moment and carefully watch, imagining what they see.
the imbalances of imperfections perfectly poised between indigenous features blend with those of the conquistadores, they meet at your nose.
"you're very beautiful, you know"
i don't believe you
"you're obviously very pretty"
i sometimes feel pretty, and i half believe you
"you're semi-exotic looking"
i don't know what you mean
"i've never seen anyone that looks like you"
is that suppose to be a compliment? i thought it was a given
"if i ever see you again, i'll be able to tell right away that it's you, i will always remember you"
you're the only one i've ever believed, and i wholly love you for it.
