Do You See Me?

I wake up restless from thoughts of you...

I wonder if you ever think about me
and when I pass you in the halls
do you ever side glance
long enough to etch it into your head, savoring it
to get you through the day, night, or every second you never see me.

And when I never spot you
are you watching me instead?

If so, I hope I am like a ghost
fleeting from your sight
and when you finally think you've seen me
you have to second guess if you really did
teasing you to grab me down
to materialize what you've been dreaming about.

Do you ever wonder
how it is like to finally let my name roll off your tongue?
Or to enjoy my laughter solely bursting out for you?
And to just brush your fingers against mine?

What is so scary is
that you won't see me for how I see you.
