first a look my way

then a glance towards you

an upwards curve at the corner of my lip

then not being able to get you off my mind

staring into each other’s eyes

stealing glances

looking then looking away when the other one sees

feeling butterflies when I hear your name

the butterflies fluttering more when you say my name

blushing when we have our minute conversations

letting my mind daydream about you as I listen to sweet little love songs

imagining things and hallucinating

overthinking

doubting myself

double-checking

second-guessing

did I see that right?

can I trust my eyes?

can I trust you?

can I trust a word you say?

you tell me you don’t feel like that

not anymore

oh

well, apparently you never even did

it was great a second ago

but then suddenly

it’s all over
