Frazzled

She tries not to look because that would only show affection 

And any slight release of feeling would make her look weak

She tries not to think because she would only think of him

And that would just make her sad because she knows the feelings aren't mutual

Her breathing grows faster when she's around him

And she gets that spark of excitement when he stares at her or looks into her eyes

Although these are common things he does

The girl wonders, 

"What if he's looking at someone behind me? Or not looking at anyone at all?" 

She desperately tries not to stare 

And she doesn't stare much

But when she gets lost in his eyes

It's hopeless to try to stop

It goes on and off

One day he'll seem to like her

But the next he doesn't 

And she knows this is a sign 

That he doesn't love her

And she has to live with the insufferable feeling

That he might love someone else.
