It was at first all so sudden
I didn't know and that was a burden
It was hard to not notice
Though we couldn't mix

You were bold and you were bright
You were never someone of little might
There was something about you I did adore
But my mind made sure it did not store

We never really spoke that much
Even though we did keep in touch
I just tried to not be drawn
I decided not to mow the lawn

Surprisingly, it grew a little too much
It was too much of a crunch
I gave the grass a good cut
Without giving it much of a thought

Things went very well
And why, I could not tell
Grew closer by the day
But kept the thought at bay

After a while, it could no longer be denied
In this I had gotten myself tied
As much as I tried to make it go away
I just couldn't so I let it stay

The day I saw you and looked into your eyes
I wondered if it were all lies
I didn't expect it to be that bad
I always thought it was a tad

Every little thing you think I don't see
Are actually the things that notice me
To that very place my mind did stray
But you crossed your arms, you pushed me away
