i watch you around the halls
as you walk so upright,
quiet and shy.
you catch me staring
and our gazes locked.
but i'm not brave enough
to stay in the staring game
just to wait and see
if you would give a smile.

oh, what i would give
if i could cross paths with you again,
just to have you drink my soul in
as i melt under your stare.

but there you were,
a step farther away from me
within every second that passed.

you didnt know it
but you have yet again
won the staring game.
