You Noticed

Neither did my mom or dad

Closest friends or cousins

Notice me at this time of day

When I daydream and look in a different way

We were sitting under a tree that day

It provided a cool shade for us and our friends

We were waiting for the teacher to pass by

You didn't look at me once, and I asked myself why

I moved closer to you, something caught my attention

Two kids running about on the field, they looked cute

I got my notebook and put it on my lap

Then you looked at me, but I think I looked like crap

I was smiling like crazy when you looked at me

You smiled back too and asked if I was going to write again

I barely noted and averted my gaze back to the children

They were running freely, I envied them

You looked at our other friends and started chatting

While I continued to fix my attention on the two kids

Trying to find the words to write on my notebook

When I felt someone look

From my peripheral vision, I could feel you looking

But I shrugged it off, afraid that our eyes might meet

I looked at you for a split second and looked away

But you looked again, and this is safe to say

You were the only who noticed

The transparency of my world and how imaginative I am

When I looked at the little children running back and forth

You made me feel that this life has something worth
