Stage 1
barely noticed
consumed in habits
all work, some play
he came for pennies, not love.

Stage 2
experiencing a feeling, too hard explaining
mysterious woman
reappearing in the outskirts of his brain
thinking nothing of it

Stage 3
recognizes her stares
acknowledges her interest.
'how can I twist?'
he begins to play the game.

Stage 4
she is a beauty, will give her that
is it worth it? she has a man
wants to chase
but she isn't the one

Stage 5
keeps her hanging
straight answers are foreign
some day, 'I could have her.'
putting himself first
keeping his image
can't fall off this tower now.
