Misguided Sparks
As you stared at me across the highway LANDING,
I couldn't help but notice you SMILING,
With all my heart, i could literally feel us BONDING,
But the essence of this SHOW, i really didn't KNOW.
Unfortunately for me, mum called my NAME.
She had noticed that i paused on a certain LANE.
As dignified as my excuse was for the sudden PAUSE,
I barely survived with some screams and a few CURSES.
Looking back, our eyes met AGAIN.
But this time, all the sparks were gone AWAY.
I realized that the fact that i had seen your SIDE-VIEW,
Didn't mean that i'd love what was in the FRONT-VIEW.
