Unnoticed

I observed how you were observing her.

and I did nothing.

Your adoring gaze is fixated on her.

My stomach dropped.

It seems like you could continue doing it all day without stopping.

Do you know that I also yearn for it?

being given such a caring gaze?

You cannot see me, though.

You were unable to notice me because your gaze was diverted by her beauty.

I wiped my tears away and looked in another direction.

My head was cocked downward,

my lips were pursed, too.

with hands clenched,

I made a move to leave.
