You didn’t see me.
You looked right through me
Like I wasn’t even there,
But you didn’t see me.
I met your eyes
And wished a thousand times
That I could impart my words through them.
Yet nothing was shared between us.
No spark ignited.
Time did not stand still.
You didn’t see me.
No sudden recognition
Or sharp consideration.
Your eyes did not glow
With the light of awareness.
No matter how many times I think back
There is nothing that can change the fact.
You didn’t see me.
