my mind always goes back to you
no matter how much I say I never even liked you or I never cared
I did care though, I always did
before I even knew the poison your eyes held I cared
I knew who you were and I knew that you had a damaged soul
I had seen you around always looking mysterious but too distant to let anyone in
i knew there was something about you but I never really cared to find out
really I never cared until the third Thursday of school when I asked a question to the back of a head full of black curls not realizing that when the curls turned around to answer I would be met with deep chocolate eyes
eyes that made my world stop and focus on each flake of color
when I came to a smile spread across your face that stopped my world all over again
but in that second our eyes met I promised myself to try and not get attached to the poison in your eyes that I was suddenly addicted to
but in the same second I made that promise I also felt my heart leap and dance and I knew I would break my promise
I don't remember walking away all I remember was that the next day I search the halls for the eyes that would appear every time I let my thoughts run wild
I never had to look far, because every time I spotted your tall frame and mop of curls your eyes were already dancing with mine
