it really doesn’t matter
it really doesn’t matter
just like what he’s saying, but still
I’d rather steal glances at you
                            look at me, look for me


I know it wouldn’t happen
I know it wouldn’t happen
somehow that’s my guilt
even though it’s my defense
                            I think she wants to tame you.


you keep me staring
you keep me staring
when you never look back
I can’t stop trying;
                            I like you like this.


not wild but unbridled
so much strength, but I wouldn’t expect you to protect me
not broken but real, not untouched
I love your eyes even when they are turned away
                            I admire you.


I watch, hesitant
I envy, know I could never be like you
I answer, questions you wouldn’t ask
you don’t know, I don’t know why-
                            I’m selfish.


she watches, expectant
she envies, not you but those who could have you
she asks, you answer in the words you choose.
she wants to tame you, I leave you free
to watch you, selfish-
                            at least she asks for what she would take;
at least she gives you a chance to say no.



...it's always sudden...
