You

The awkward eye contact as our paths cross in the classroom The nagging feeling i missed out on something good The vacant look in your eye that says I'm nothing more Then a stranger that goes to the same school Your resonating laugh as i cringe at your happiness Thinking you don't care and knowing what you're really going through Wondering what you see when you look at me Do you see an old friend or a stranger? Keeping my distance form you just to keep a smile Waiting for the opportunity to talk Hiding what I feel from every one trying to figure it out on my own Quick eye contact and I flash a smile no response To my efforts, it’s as if you've forgotten Erased from my memory but hiding in the back of your mind Silently creeping to the forefront of your thought ready to drive you crazy To make you hurt the way i do Feel the pain i have and allow you a look into my mind A connection that is forever tied together with a thought Words in a heated argument that separates us forever Now i wait for the time to come when you are you again Not this fake persona of a happy person
