Admiration From Afar
i am that guy in the corner watching
as many try but fail....i admire you from afar
i am not interested in getting with you
i am just interested in watching you just be
the way you move....the way you present your caricature
it is like i poem that i just cannot write....but the words dwell in my head
yeah, we say hello to each other
yeah, we smile at each other in passing
yeah, we steal stares at each other wondering what the other is thinking
the difference is, i imagine myself doing things that some may deem "nasty"
you, on the other hand, just stop, look, and wonder for however long your attention span allows you
that being known by me, i remain in the corner watching
oh how wonderfully your hips sway....oh, how lovely your legs look when you walk
i am not interested in loving you
i am just interested in appreciating the beautiful, confident black woman that you are
the way you light up a room....the way you voice your opinion and get your point across
you are out of my league by many unreachable miles
knowing this, i know that i will never come close to knowing you
however, as long as my eyes are able to see, you will always have an affectionate admirer in me....
