perhaps

perhaps it was how you smiled
perhaps it was how you teased in good humor
perhaps it was how you didn’t like hugs
perhaps it was how you walked with me
perhaps it was how I shouldn’t care for you
perhaps it was how you let me help you
perhaps it was how you tried to be better
perhaps it was how we were fast friends
perhaps it was how you waited for me
perhaps it was how we seemed to flirt
perhaps it was how you didn’t know
but perhaps it was how I hid it so
that perhaps maybe I liked you more and more
