You never noticed,
But I noticed everything about you.
The color of your shirt,
The watch you always wore,
The way your shades rested
Effortlessly on your nose.
I memorized the color of your eyes,
How they shimmered in the sunlight,
How they grew smaller when you smiled,
How you would run your fingers through your hair
Trying to set it right.
I noticed your hands,
The way they moved,
Your silence that spoke louder
Than any words you could ever say.
I memorized you —
Every detail, every stillness.
But what you never saw
Was me.
How I got ready for you,
Choosing carefully what to wear,
Fixing my hair,
Hoping for just one glance,
Just one acknowledgment.
You never noticed
The hours I spent rehearsing my smile,
Or the way my heart raced
Whenever you walked into the room.
You never saw the effort I put in,
The way I tried to be enough
For eyes that never looked my way.
You never noticed
How I searched for you in a crowd,
How my laughter grew softer
When it was meant for you,
How every word I spoke
Carried pieces of you.
You never noticed,
But I did.
I noticed everything.
I chose you in a thousand little ways
That you never cared to see.
I gave effort you never gave back,
I looked for you when you never searched for me.
You never noticed—
But I did.
