"I should be studying."

the look I gave you

or tried to-

was dead serious

but you continued

to distract me

as if controlling

my eyes

to look away

from my notes

"then study something

that still will matter

in a hundred years."

at some point

I could look back at my notes

but never really continued

to engrave them into my mind

because I became infatuated

in studying the words

not of my notes

but the ones scrawled

all over yours
