I see you
And you are still the most beautiful thing in the room
I want to stare
Pull in every detail
But I can’t do that anymore
I just have to remember. Admire from a distance.
How loud and prominent your laugh is
How your eyes look as captivating as the ocean
How your lips curl over your teeth when you smile
How one side of your mouth turns up a little more than the other
I want to feel
Remember every spark of electricity you sent pulsing through my body
When you put your hand against the small of my back
When you engulfed me in a hug
When you pulled my face in to kiss me
But now
You won’t even look in my direction
I wonder if you still think I’m beautiful
I wonder if you want to kiss me as much as I want to kiss you
I wonder how unnatural it feels. Seeing me, and not waving, not even trying to say hello.
