Thank You for the Rejection

I told you I liked you
You said you didn't share the feeling
I'm strangely relieved
I don't have to be nervous
Worry you won't like me
Choose my phrases with care
I can be completely me
The me that friends know all too well
That makes me giggle at myself
That isn't afraid to poke fun
It's not that you know a fake me
It's that you only know a part of me
I hate how I've acted
I naturally tease
But not once have I mocked
Belittled
Teased
Poked fun
Or anything of the sort with you
I was too afraid
Too nervous
To even try to do anything
Now I'm not scared to tell you you're weird
Point out how cute it is you don't cuss
How adorable it is that you so sweet
Or even how undiscribably naive you can be
I can start being your friend
Truly
Honesty
Wholeheartedly
Completely
Your friend
With all the teasing
Loyalty
Caring
Advice getting
Weirdness
And all the rest that come with me
Truth be told I'm glad you didn't like me back
If you did I'd always have to show only part of me
Or run the risk of you saying I'd "changed"
Now you can know the whole me
Warts and all
I guess what I'm saying is
Thank you for the rejection
