I said goodbye
before I said hi

the sun drips gold through the windowpane
my admiration watching you I cannot feign
intimidate me in your collared shirt and tie
my resistance to your attraction quickly wanes

I watch you overzealous and in a daze

jealous of who meets your radiant grin and gaze
youre not near yet I'm swept off my feet

with you I intend to spend these entire dog days

post clock out, you come take a seat

force yourself to smile, though I see through your
deceit

is it something I said? I did? god forbid

I mourn how our connection is so bittersweet

“today’s been fun, now farewell’ I quickly bid
your cold, thoughtful eyes make me realize I hid
auditorium hush tells me I’m to be rid
auditorium hush tells me I’m to be rid
