I find myself staring into the distance between us.
You pretend not to notice I do.
I find myself shifting my weight from foot to foot.
You pretend not to notice I do.
I find myself twitching from time to time.
You pretend not to notice I do.
I find myself avoiding your eyes and their glare.
You pretend not to notice I do.

I can't help as my nerves fly through the roof.
You don't seem to notice.
I can't help but wonder what it would be like to hold you.
You don't seem to notice.
I can't help but feel light as a feather, your gaze keeping me aground.
You don't seem to notice.
I can't help but fall silently and surely, never touching ground.
You don't seem to notice what you do to me.

I know I won't last much longer standing still, inches away from you.
Maybe this time you notice.
