Sidelines

Intriguing. Fascinating. Inspiring.

Ruffling your brown curls through the wind.

A glance to the side,

Did you see me?

 

You drive me to look better.

 

Enamoring. Perfect. Exhilarating.

Sliding your windbreaker over your arms.

A scan of your surroundings,

Did you see me?

 

You drive me to think of the possibilities.

 

Refreshing. Charming. Riveting.

Studying your flashcards over tea.

A look to the left,

Did you see me?

 

You drive me to strive for excellence.

 

Alluring. Moving. Appealing.

Tossing the tomato from your sandwich to the side.

A glimpse at the nearby table,

Did you see me?

 

You drive me to know what I want.

 

Stimulating. Delightful. Stirring.

Practicing your midterm presentation.

A swivel of your chair,

Did you see me?

 

You drive me to try harder
