Notice Me

Time didn't stop like in the movies,

You didn't notice me,

A desk apart from you and not one glance.

I thought falling in love involved two people,

but looks like it was only me.

Through the gaps of our desk,

I would watch your shoes and admire your legs,

I know I sound like a creep.

I accepted you for all your flaws,

the ance, the chapped lips, the messy hair,

I just wish you'd notice me.

One hour and thirty minutes to watch you from afar,

I sometimes wished to reach out and touch your arm.

The day you held the door open for me is etched in my mind,

Time froze this time,

Time gave me a moment to stare into your grey-blue eyes,

A chance to get so close that I could smell the laundry detergent off your clothes,

I almost leaned to kiss you,

But I was too lost in the fact that you noticed me enough to open a door.
