As usual my mind is my greatest downfall

by Meet Me On Thames Street   Aug 9, 2007


I enter the room and our eyes meet
but again you turn away
my mind flashes possibilities
but as usual i know none could be true
and for the thousandth time i wonder
why you're always looking my way
though we've hardly met
and you've certainly shown no interest
but still my heart beats faster
and my head spins
at the sight of your face
and the thought of your smile

the first possibility opens in my mind
but i quickly push it away
if you really think of me
the way i think of you
then more would have been exchanged
than random glances
and forlorn smiles

another possibility pushes its way to the front
but again i doubt it's truth
you could never find me pretty enough
to stare from across the room

i push all other thoughts away
I can't handle any more self-doubt
any more wondering
I hate my mind for...
as always...
overthinking every glance my way
analyzing every word said
and making me think i actually have a chance
a chance at love i have never had
a dream, it seems will never come true
and a feeling, you have never felt for me
