Thoughts/emotions in word-like form

I don't want to have these thoughts- they make me sad.
\
They remind me of what I'll probably never have.

But it's a topic constantly on my mind.

Every thought in my head fights to lead, one way or another, to the object of my affection and constant attention.

I fight back, forcing serenity and order back into the connections and my mind calms.

Calm

Now I'm scheduled to enter the vicinity. There is no welcome. No smiles.

I make my move. Smiles. Banter. I gaze and my gaze is welcomed and returned. I can look but I can't touch.

Time ruins everything and the parting is not addressed. Compliment on today's dress.

Always so beautiful.

Repeat

This time, comparing thumbs, our hands brush.

Blue blue eyes.

I love blue eyes.

My humor is received but it feels stupid. Laughter all the same.

I tell myself it's all a waste of time. It's all a waste of time.

Or is it? More contact. Hands, feet, legs. What does this all mean?

Subtly, and I don't think I can detect the message.

What is the message? It hurts to think about it.

It hurts not to.

Blonde hair... Blue eyes... Pale...

Nearly every crush...

Why does it have to mean anything?

"I can look, but I can't touch."

I can look, but I can't see.
Looks at me, but doesn't see me.

Touch a shell--a shadow of what we pretend to have on the inside.

Calm.

Too calm.

Beautiful lies.
