Your presence demands the attention of all those in the room It is like a scene From one of those overused princess movies And though there isn't much to do My eyes keep returning to you Oh the magnetism of your smile Of the way that you wrinkle your eyes When they by chance meet with mine Could it be that there is reason To these wonderfully awkward meetings Or are you merely surveying the room I quietly count the number of times When in my planned and measured tactics To ensure that you don't see my interest in you The number of times which your gaze is already meeting with mine Quickly looking away and brushing your hair from your face how many times you would quickly turn away to divert attention in a way Hopefully showing that you are trying not to be caught in your process too In this theory, I somehow build up enough courage to cross the room With a path clearing as though this quiet audience knew That a silent game Was being played In this space That I was now attempting to cross And as that distance closed I saw a light in your eyes That showed that maybe I was right To hope for a reason behind these wonderfully awkward meetings
