Staring [free-verse]
I caught you staring at me
today.
You were watching me with
those green eyes of yours.
The ones that could light up
a whole city.
The ones that you claim
you hate but secretly love.
I tried to get you to focus
on the task at hand
but
you
refused.
You said there was
better things to
do,
like sleep and draw
I agreed but told you
that you're in school
for
a
reason.
You nod and tell me you know that.
When I turned back to my work
you started staring again.
I looked up and gave you
that half smile
that you always comment on.
I see your eyes twinkle
like stars in the night sky.
The teacher gave us his infamous
dirty look.
I see you shiver a bit,
knowing how much you
hate that glare.
I shoot you a reassuring smile
and try to actually get some
work
done.
Yeah, like that would happen.
Through the corner of my eye
I see
you
still
staring.
