i,
saw you in the library, today.
i think,
i was also staring.
but i was too engrossed then, to recollect now.
i was sitting four tables and various short eye contacts away from you.
i know
because i counted.
i think
you were looking for something.
was it something that you needed for the project,
that you got in your english class today?
i guessed because Nina told me about it
earlier this morning.
i hope,
you got what you were looking for.
today,
you weren't like your usual self.
did something happen, my love?
nina offered to introduce me
to you.
albeit I waved her off
but not without a smile.
although,
you do not know about my unfathomable emotions;
not aware of my existence either,
i'll rather
keep it that way.
please,
my love,
don't ask me why.
but, love,
i can't although,
stop looking at you
from across the library,
and canteen,
and the soccer ground,
when you play.
because i also know,
one never really gets
what they are looking for,
always.
although,
they don't stop hoping.
do they?
