Time stopped
Our eyes met
My world reset
Everything seemed so bright
No worries in sight
I blushed
Flushed
Wild did my feelings drive
I felt alive
And then, he looked away
What?
And then he looked away
No words I could say
He didn't look back
My hopes did crack
And then to my utter dismay
He walked away
My fantasies shattered
All that really mattered
He didn't look back
My dreams did crack
It became hard to be
Was there no beauty in me?
He exited the library
And I flew back to the ordinary
Did I come off as a creep?
No
I was not going to weep
I gathered all my butterflies
And could hear their cries
I silenced them
My thoughts were enough of a mayhem
I scared him off
I thought with a scoff
But it was just an innocent stare...
I should've taken better care
He didn't look back
My courage did crack
He didn't look back
What did I lack?
I felt so dumb
To sadness, I did succumb
I left the library
It made me weary
As I walked to the florist
My eyes only saw sad mist
But
I wanted to be happy
I didn't want to feel crappy
So I did just that
I pondered over everythin'
And let out a small grin
My misconception cracked
There was nothing I lacked.
So I beamed when I entered the store
And couldn't be shocked anymore
He just stood there
And the flowers showed off their flare
They glistened
They all did shine
I don't know if he listened
But his eyes were on mine.
