You were watching yesterday.

One of my friends declared their admiration,

But it wasn't the same.

Only you could declare your love for me.

I felt bad.

Because while she was staring at me in earnest,

I was staring at you.

You stared back unblinkingly

(i was happy at that.)

And I only remembered to reply to her

When you glanced at her

And back at me.

I rejected her,

Of course,

Because

(of you. because i can't stop thinking about you.)

I wasn't interested.

She took it well enough,

And I'm grateful for that.

Because then I can solely focus

On the way you make me feel.

Even now.

Why are you still in my head?

Why do I miss you?

Why does it hurt?

(i don't want you to go.)
