Across the Room...

I see you, and from across the room our eyes meet.
I wonder, if you think the way that I think.
My heart beats.
I half smile, and then you do.
I look away, blushing deep pink.
I look up again, and see you are gone.
I missed my chance.
My heart beats.
I look away, embarrassed to stare.
I look up again, and then you are there.
I blink in confusion, and half grin in your direction.
I see you enjoy my imperfection.
I consider the thought, of walking over.
My heart beats.
I cannot, my legs feel like rubber.
I sit and read, looking up periodically.
I continue to catch your eyes, in the direction of mine.
My heart beats.
I give you a smile of permission, and you tilt your head.
I shrug my shoulders, and you smile instead.
I continue to read, wrapped in the book.
I figure you are not coming for a closer look.
I look up once more, and see you are gone.
I stop for a moment, confused in my thoughts.
My heart beats.
I begin to read, trying not to think.
I look up, and there you are smiling across from me.
My heart beats.
I don’t know what to do, so I smile oddly back.
My heart beats.
I hear you say hello, I half smile in response
My heart beats.
I invite you to sit, and you take a seat.
My heart beats.
I confidently scoot up, and tuck my legs under me.
I see you across from me, and our eyes meet.
My heart beats.
I wonder… if you think… the way that I think.
