I felt your presence
Your silent footsteps
Still I heard
You seemed uncertain
Not sure if it was okay
My back somehow turned anxious
I don't know if you felt it
I stayed the way I was
Not turning my head

I waited
And you stepped sideways
Away from me
For a while
As if gauging
If I would be accomodating
You saw me flip a hair
Talk back to someone else
Not caring one bit
If you were there

Now you started to walk
Rounding a pillar
Straight to my line of vision
You made your presence known
I looked at you
Casually speaking your name
You looked at me
In the eye
Did you see something?
Was there a telltale sign
That I was anxious as you
Like we were in a fight
And now contemplating reconcillation

Laughing inside
Yeah..we were fools
Engaging in silent war
Ignore..reject..
As if testing who will hold
Power between us
I smirk...
I knew it
You would not be able to hold on
You will succumb
I am your temptation
Someone you could not easily dismiss
However you wanted

In the end
Triumphantly
I won.

This game of me and you
I wonder when will this end?
