I know I shouldn't have been interested at you

But like the cassette tapes you have

I want to keep playing it over and over again

You have lit the fire of my interest


I am now aware of the guitar you play

The man bun you always style your hair

The music player you always bring along

The type of guy I like


The universe conspired against me

Why are you getting closer?


Your eyeglass flashing the blurry images I see

Your curly hair loosely tied

Your unfathomable thoughts

Not the most handsome guy I saw but like I said


You have lit the fire of my interest

You are interesting enough to put me on flame


It's not your face that drew me on this phase

It's the cassette tape on your hip

It's the strumming of chords on your pink guitar

It's your curly f-cking man bun


I am uninterested at people

But you gave me the benefit of a doubt on my own words


You are an old soul

I want to know

You are a vintage

I want to keep


You have lit the fire of this normal girl's interest

Still, I'll just look at you from a distance

Because I am not your kind of girl


I write poems and prose

Novels and books on my nose

Earphones and silence

Average and subjective


I know this will pass

Just like the first few ones

You will leave

And I'll be forgotten


So for now, let me stay on this zone


You are interesting

But it's not enough


To give a heart

Vulnerable


I can't trust my observations

But you are interesting


You can be a subject to my poem
