Oblivious To Me

By Andrea Tadpole

In the background
Secretly watching
Longing for you
With a thirst
Only you can quench

I go unnoticed
My existence unheeded

You brush by me
My knees go weak
Your scent drives me wild
My heart takes a leap

So close
Yet lifetimes apart

How do I bridge
The great divide
Get you to see me
Take me for a ride

Am I invisible
Can you not see
What you do to me

I blush
When our eyes meet
If only for a second
My palms sweat
I lose my breath

All I want is you
Yet you never see

You walk by
Oblivious to me
