A Million, Billion Steps Between Me and You

Right across the room,
About a million, billion,
Or twenty steps away,
Where my breath catches, with every glance I take;
There, you sit.
A boy more focused on his pencils than his work
A boy constantly twirling his earphones around his fingers
A boy who stopped my heart with a single smirk.

A lingering stare can close a distance so fast
Your hand, just a few dust particles away.
And I sweetly smile as your lips part to speak,
"Hey."
