was insufferable
the way I could stay for hours gazing
hoping to catch another look from you
while trying to play it cool
and failing with a dumb smile

if I had it bad before
this was borderline fatal
my eyes couldn't take it
my mind going crazy
my heart tired of racing

those little looks you sent
from time to time
didn't help any less,
it only reassured the warm feeling in my chest
and awareness of my state

now I found myself caring how I'd look
when before I threw whatever was close
hoped I looked put together enough
for your eyes to feast on

I hope those six times you looked at me in the past week weren't a complete waste of your time, my love
