Staring

Freaked out
Someone’s staring at me
When I look around
All I see
A quick motion
Ginger hair
Someone’s staring at me
But I feel so alive
I think just maybe
I know why they’re staring
Staring at me
I look once more
Then he stares at the floor
Feel like I should confront
What would even happen
Would they take it as a taunt
Timid as I am
Also strong
And everything I’ll do
I’ll give my heart and soul
But in the back of my head
I think just maybe
I know why they’re
Staring
Staring at me
After running a mile
I think I’m in denial
Then it happens again
They’re staring
Staring at me
But I feel so alive
See how this goes
Maybe tomorrow
Now thinking
Where would I be
If I would talk freely
Wonder why they stare at me
Staring at me
Could make them feel
Envy
Or jealousy
I make eye contact
Now he’s just smilin’
Smilin’ at me
Still have this thought
That I why
He’s staring
Starin’ at me
Two months later
Back in the game
Feels like we picked up
Where we left off
Just now I’m dying to talk-
To engage with you
I don’t have enough courage yet
I’m growing and getting places
Soon the conversation
I’m sure will come up
I’ll confront,
Then you’ll confess
But that’s all in my head
It’s all a fantasy
It seems like
I’m on the road to happiness
And I know
As I get to know you longer
I’ll make more progress
And I’ll most likely find out
Why you stare-stare at me
I’ve changed I’m more confident
More secure
Not a groupie, but in a group
I’ve known you four years counted
Each day I become closer to my goal
And each day
I wanna know
If this is your way
To show you like me
That’s why I think you end up staring
Staring at me
