I SAW YOU BUT YOU QUIETLY LOOKED AWAY

 I saw you,

I saw you staring

In the middle of the crowd 

I looked away

Thinking it was a mistake

That it wasn't what it seemed like

Your gaze lingered on me

Longer then it should have

I heard you

I heard you whispering

Among all the chatters

I didn't speak 

Thinking it won't be appropriate 

That silence is the right way out

Your voice echoed in me

Longer then it should have

I walked away

Getting lost in the crowd

Drowning your voice out

But when I took a pause

And looked back to all the mess

You were there

In the middle of all

You knew I had seen you

You knew I had heard you

You knew I was right

This time when I didn't walk away

This time when I wanted you to see

This time when I wanted you to say

You quitely looked away...
