"Unnoticed"

Going back to where I first saw you, in that suffocating gym where you played basketball basking in the sunlight's warm hues.

The hot november air glazed through my skin, the intenseness of each stroke reached my heart as everything became a blurry background of somewhat a masterpiece of a painting.

I didn't know you, you were a stranger that lingered on my head for so long. Like a creature lurking inside of me, you haunted my dreams and filled it with memories I wished we made in reality.

Each slip of my fingers on your hair, wish they were real but are left with nothing but a sweet intoxicating phantasm.

Each encounter, was a bliss. unbeknownst of my existence, I enjoyed just the sight of you. Admired you from a distance, my heart aches but I was a coward to show my face.

I fell in love with someone who's into someone else. I can't help but think "I loved you first." but oh well, life's what it is. How can you notice me when I hide myself in the corner.

If I had the courage. Would I still feel this way?
