got a little lost in your eyes,
felt a little nervous around them.
caught you glancing more than a dozen times.
can’t say i didn’t stare back.

maybe i read it all wrong,
maybe i’m delusional and all, and
maybe it’s all in my head!

but then— why were you looking at me like that?

like, i made you hold your breath
you wanted my attention
looked my way for approval

it can’t possibly be all in my head.
i’m so sure of this!
because if it wasn’t for sure, there’s no way you would be looking at me like that.

all you need is some distance, so you can realize why you’re looking at me like that~

then the time came,
the setting was set,
i was ready for you.
but the one factor, the one variable that i didn’t account for,
the girl

that i almost forgot,
that caught me by surprise—
also caught you.

then i understood.
it’s just what you do.
