Walking away

I was just sitting there when I first saw you,

angel like eyes with a smile the same.

The way you moved into my life trivial,

how you exit even more so.

My mother watches me watch you,

so thick the atmosphere in the room.

When you looked at me I was frozen,

no words could I speak at all.

The way your body moved so amazing,

it was like you were floating.

So many words I wanted to say,

yet in my sorrow I kept my tongue.

Just this image now stuck in my head,

regret I never should have known.

Perky lips smiling as you play,

eyes shine like my night sky.

Held back I am too afraid,

to ever let my feelings made clear.

I heard your voice and I melted,

so soft and gentle you demeanor.

I wonder if you even notice me,

I doubt I fit the bill.

Tight striped pants so fitting,

catch my eyes this instant.

The way you move mesmerizes my fault,

a swan on a lake.

I know I just saw an angel,

or maybe one just walking away.
