Stolen glances across crowded spaces
I watch you as you sit
And type
Unaware that you are the star in my show
The actor who didn't audition for the role
And I laugh louder when you're close to me
To catch your attention
And make you notice me
Which you do
I avert my eyes when you lookup
To not be accused
Of watching
Staring
Longing
Like the day you caught me trying to take a photo
Did my flushed cheeks betray me,
or did I play it off well?
You don't like photographs so I only have a few
I keep them hidden because I don't want to share you
any more than I already have to
So I'll keep stealing glances
And gushing when I see you doing the same
