I remember the first time I layed eyes on you The cracks on your body Were right there It was like you wanted Me to see them On some level I saw nothing in your eyes And I was immediatly drawn to you Yet I saw no indication That you felt it too It was never in your eyes But it must've been somewhere Since I heard the exchange "Did you know she was here" "no man!" My heart leaped But then I saw more than I could handle Couldn't get that stupid smirk Off my face for a week Couldn't approach you Any other way Than the way I did... But then I was drawn in to a pit And seemingly you put it there That's what it looked like: A trap A trap for humiliation And shame. But in hindsight It all looks like a big accident. And I guess I don't blame you now. Just wish I could read your mind. Just wish I could leave it behind. And I do assume that you did. But then why do I keep running in to you. On street, in my head, in my dreams. You left a trace within me And never even flinched.

Need to put this past me, like yesterday.
