Why?

You walked into the room unnoticed

Or so you thought, maybe to most

I don't know what drew my glance

There was something there undefinable

Did you see me notice?

Was I turning red?

From across that room,

Could you hear my heart race?

I pretend to read my book

Take notes, but it's all pretense

Every moment torture

Thoughts of what could be

Then I let you leave, coward I

Told myself I could live without you

I must not tell lies

Especially to my heart
