A Look
meeting
him again
talking to him again
is there something there?
could it be special?
stealing glances at him when he is unaware
appreciating the way he looks
wondering what he is thinking
is he thinking of me?
why would he be?
im no one of importance
sitting opposite him
as i glance towards him
he is looking at me
our eyes meet
that feeling rushes through me
from head to toe
excitement
nervousness
happiness
all in an instant before i look away
as i gather the courage to glance back at him
i notice he is still looking at me
i hold his eyes with mine
longer this time
smiling as that feeling rushes through me again
wanting something to happen
hoping it will
slowly over time
