I notice you

I don’t know why

but I notice you everyday

looking my way

as if you think about me differently

as if you care about me

as if you like me

I notice you

I don’t say anything about it

but I notice you all of the time

stealing a glance

as we walk past each other in the halls

as you walk by my lunch table

as you stand on the other side of the room

I notice you

I can’t help

but notice you noticing me

watching me

as I die inside

as I try not to cry

as I overthink it all

or maybe you don’t

I’m making that part up

maybe I just notice you

and you don’t notice me

maybe I’m just crazy

I’ve gone mad

he’s driven me utterly insane

and now I don’t know what to think

I don’t know what to believe

maybe you don’t pay any attention to me

maybe you haven’t even thought about me

since however long it’s been

maybe you just don’t care about me

at least, not like that

I don’t like you like that either

but still

I don’t know why

but I notice you

and I think I’ve noticed you noticing me

but maybe I’m just too crazy to tell

maybe I’m just flat-out wrong

I’m hallucinating

maybe you don’t care about me like that

maybe you never did

maybe I’m the only one that notices things

maybe you don’t notice me at all
