I want to
talk
laugh
smile at you.
When I do,
you
crack
my favorite, crooked grin
and look away.
But...
Why?
Why do you look
down,
across the room,
at Jacob,
anywhere but me?
You make me smile
just
by looking at me.
I can't help but wonder
if
I do the same
for you...

The author's comments:
it kind of hurts when you really like someone and can't stop staring at them, and then have them avoid eye contact with you at [so it seems] all costs. still working on that with him...
