Farewell for a love that never was

I still remember the first time I laid eyes on you.
You greeted me by the door, smiling like you do.
We spoke a little, I was shy, you were you.

I was scared to be too young, and boy was I right.
Three year later, here we are,
You're still you
I'm still shy.

But something's changed, I can feel it in the air
Your eyes see me different
They now watch me with a glare.

However, there isn't passion in your words
Or tension in your touch
Am I the subject of your thoughts
Or is it all a game of lust?

So I keep looking for that glare,
When at night I catch you up
but I can't find it anywhere
And so my heart breaks apart.

I hope there's still a chance of us to be,
And that I'll meet your smile again someday
In a crowded room you will see me
And shyly, I'll look away.
