i remember the day when i left first period a little later than usual and bumped into you in the hallway
you were walking with one of your friends,
and i assumed he was telling you a joke by the way your eyes sparkled and the large smile you wore
when i noticed that your friend was looking straight ahead,
i realized that your eyes were trained on me
i didn't smile back,
and i hope that i kept a blank look on my face
we continued to hold eye contact until i passed,
and for the rest of the day,
you were permanently on my mind
