Encounter at the Pedestrian Crossing

Did you know I would fall

The minute you said excuse me?

Did you see my eyes sparkle

As you smiled and said hello?

--- 

Did you see me gawk

As you moved those tempting lips?

Did you know I couldn’t hear you

Over the thumping of my nerves?

---- 

Did your heart flutter

When I smiled and said thank you?

Was there longing in your eyes

When I turned and walked away?

--- 

I would have turned back

If I knew you felt it too

But, in the end,

I will never know, will I?

In the end, we will never know.
