I couldn't stop staring.
From the moment I saw him
I couldn't stop staring.
I'd sit on the opposite side
of the class room from him
so I could catch fleeting glimpses of his brilliance
and not be seen.
That was the goal, wasn't it?
To not be seen but be noticed.
Each day a lesson in learning how to disappear but still be
recognized.
Because of course I can’t
tell him how I
feel...
So instead I'll continue to admire his rarity from afar
in hopes that one day his star encrusted path will cross mine.
