I'm Not That Guy: Romantic Email Poetry

I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY.
AND I WILL BE HONEST: YOU ARE AFRAID OF ME.
YOU ARE AFRAID I WILL GET MAD,
BE UPSET,
RESPOND THE WAY YOUR PAST GUYS HAVE,
AND YOU STILL DON’T GET
THAT I’M NOT LIKE THAT.

AND UNTIL YOU SEE
THAT ABOUT ME,
I WILL JUST BE ANOTHER GUY
WHO SUCKS YOU DRY
WHO TAKES AND TAKES AND TAKES.
BUT THERE’s YOUR MISTAKE.

I’M NOT THAT GUY./
AND I DON’T WANT
TO TRY/
TO BE. /
I JUST HOPE SOME DAY YOU’LL SEE/
ME.
