Lyssa's Poem Book

Magnet

You're so hard to resist

But we barely even met

I talked to you a year ago, maybe two

But only for a moment

When I see you I'm obsessed 

But I keep these thoughts suppressed 

Because I'm not sure I heard your name right

And it's been a long time since you said it

Then you looked me in the eyes

And my heart was really fluttering

But you don't have a clue

How it feels to me

Whenever you're in view

You're magnetic,

My brain is static

But something pulls me away

Because if I say it now, I might never see you again

Or I'll be a creep because who am I anyway?

Do you remember the moments we had

Even though they didn't last?

Did you think I was pretty when I admired your...well, everything?

It's just a little crazy

How I feel like you're meant for me

But we never interact

And you don't see me as I stare

At your eyes and your clothes and your beautiful hair

I saw you with another girl, you were dancing and laughing with joy

I was happy for her really, but I wished it was me instead

I secretly hoped she'd up and leave you

So maybe then it would be me in your head

I feel like I love you, but isn't that pathetic?

I don't know you inside, it's a superficial feeling

I know one day I'll go, and never see you now or then

So for now I guess I'll watch you

Until you notice me again
