My steps falter as my gaze singles you out
From a sparse crowd
A thick head of rebellious chestnut curls
Frame the most good-looking face
That makes hearts race and sparks a light within me
Just look at me, I whisper inside me
A plea that I will towards you
To compel your attention if for just a moment
To glimpse my hope and desire
As I light up within like a flickering firefly
Laid bare before you, for you only
The thread doesn't take hold
My compulsion is not strong enough
Your gaze flits to another beside you
Your dimpled smiles and chuckles are their gifts
Of wish I beg for a little
I'm drawn to you and can't help it
I silently weave through the crowd
My lips muttering, ‘Just look at me’
A glance from you will hold me captive
Not for a moment but for all time
Like a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day
A pool of unblinking violet eyes meets mine
In the midst of a sea of people, I'm lost
Your eyes pins me to an invisible wall
And pulls me apart,
Unearthing my darkest secrets
Then your smile sparks the flame within me
You looked at me! You see me!
A sigh of relief until another brushes past me
Lovely as a dream and falls into your arms
Owning your intense gaze and affection
My heart is forever lost,
My hope is forever dashed
You see all except me.
