and as you walk down
the long, blank school hallway
I feel my heart race,
stomach flip,
eyes widen,
and lips form a smile.

the sight of you
makes my day.

but alas,
you don't even know
that I exist;
I am a speck of dust to you,
an irrelevant girl
who only wants your attention.

you are all I see,
but to you,
I am invisible.
