Does He Know?


His sharp blue eyes

Like sapphires cut from the stone

They dance and seem to twinkle like stars.

He stares at me sometimes, a gleam in his eye

It's puzzling

These new feelings that bubble up inside.


He flirts

And sometimes he goes a bit too far

And I begin to wonder

If he really means it.


He's so good at hiding these things

That I don't take notice

Of the small gestures, the smiles, the longing glances

Or perhaps I'm too preoccupied to see it.


But sometimes he slips

And I duck my head

In a futile attempt to hide my own feelings

Does he know how much he affects me?

With that smile.


When I dream

I dream of the future

The happiness and sorrow

That trails behind the glory of the knight's shield

And strangely, my dreams include him.


I'm not always a stone

Sometimes I can't help but grin, laugh

Even blush, when he's near

Does he know?

I think he does.


His sharp blue eyes

Like sapphires cut from the stone

They dance and seem to twinkle like stars.

He stares at me often, a gleam in his eye

It's not new

These familiar feelings that bubble up inside.


He loves me.

He loves me not.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

I pluck the petals of a flower, in a futile attempt to convince myself that I'm only dreaming


Does he know how much he affects me?

Does he know these feeling I have?

Does he know it's love I feel?

Or should I forget it entirely

And take it only as a desperate attempt to find love

Again.


Because, this time, I think it's more...
