IF HE NOTICED...

Her smile

On that chilly January afternoon

by the park bench as she sat gazing at him

when he was playing tennis with his

friends

would he have noticed the tiny dimple that appeared near her chin?

or how the cold weather added a rosy tint

to cheeks?

Would he have heard her

heartbeat race,

as he ran towards her

his green orbs locking onto her brown ones

only to pick up the small

neon green ball that lay

smiling devilishly at her from across her bench?

Would he have thought her to be

innocent, beautiful and petite?

would he have appreciated her glowing state?

or gawked at the small twinkle in her eyes?

or secretly admired her pink lips?

He would never know how much she tried to be happy

when he was around

in hope that he would fall in love with her smile

just as much as she had fallen for his own

But she could not dismiss the small pang of rejection

she felt when he walked right past her

ball in his hand

as she sat there

her smile faltering and her

hand lowering

Because she had thought that he had noticed

But he didn't...
