World

I’ve been watching you from afar.
You’re quiet and so shy.
I see you look at me.

I know you think I don’t notice you
As much as I use too.
But I do notice you.

When you’re not looking.
I look.
When you’re not staring.
I stare.

My world could be yours.
I could show you what true happiness is like.

To me
Everything could be perfect.
Just take a risk and see.

There are lines that divide us.
I can’t cross them.
To me your world
I could never fit in.

I know you don’t understand.
I know you don’t know that you still turn my head.

Very nice. You describe the feeling perfectly. ;)

Tell that boy to open his eyes and realize that your standing right there waiting for him to see you!! If he still doesn't get give him a nice smack upside the head. Guys can be so oblivious....nice work!!

[Aly]

True that! It is a boy :)

[C.C. Marx]

Silly boys, sometimes I feel like we girls have to tell them straight out what we mean or they will never get it!! Good thing I'm not candid with my emotions

[Aly]

Lucky you. Me I'm hesitate girl.

[C.C. Marx]

Not always lucky, being impulsively emotional is a double edged sword my friend but also in some instinces guys go for the shy ones not the loud ones

[Aly]

Depends. But I will say this. I'm both :) You: WHAT?! YOU JUST SAID YOUR SHY! Well I am. But I'm also loud. It's more understandable in person

[C.C. Marx]

I get it I get, I'm loud when I'm comfortable with people or where I am but around certain people I go mute, but no matter what you always know what I'm feeling and at the same time I'm good at hiding what I'm feeling, talk about contradictory

I love the merging and then disconnecting between making your world "ours" and then discussing the line that cannot be crossed. I think that this is a situation which is very easy for many to relate to, good job.

[Aly]

thank you so much! :)

[Lucy Morningstar &heart..]

the bit about being them being part of your world kind of reminded me of the little mermaid, which was quite amusing, but the emotion of this poem is so strong, and so wonderful, keep up the amazing work!

[Aly]
