I watch him from afar
At lunch we walk, separated by a bar
You don't know how much my eyes follow you
I know you can't tell, but what I say is true
I want to tell you everything
But in the end I tell you nothing
I always try to talk to you
Even if it's something simple like the sky is blue
My eyes follow you everywhere
I just look for the flow of your hair
I look for that way you walk
and the way you move when you talk
I try to walk by
and possibly get to say hi
It's almost like a game of tag
But you always seem to lag
I wonder if you watch me too
I've seen you look when I do
But neither of us look away
Till we're called a different way
But I always go back
It's how I separate myself from the pack
The feeling is mutual as it goes the same way as mine. I know it's kinda weird, but I have this feeling that he also watches over me. But then again, I'm not gonna expect too much as this...
