Blind

At first, I was oblivious.
Even when they said we would click
I laughed it off, "I only see him as a friend."
Honestly, I didn't even know you all that well to consider you a friend.
Back then I was blind to someone else's bullshit.
That guy became lesson number 5
while you were preparing the lesson plan for number 6.
A fuckin' cycle it seems.
It didn't take long for me to catch on.
Tall, dark, and handsome
not hard to miss
Small talk manifested into longer talks,
giving ourselves away with 15 minutes conversations.
More exchanges and lingering looks during passing
Comfortable silences
Give and take
Take and give
The static between us was becoming hard to ignore.
Soon your gaze knew where to find mine in a room
Potent
And just like that
I became blind
Again.

But not for long.
