mindgames

He stares from across the room
thinking she won't notice
His heart pines for someone to love
someone like her
He talks to her
she flirts, knowing how he feels
though not quite sure of her own emotions
She reads into his actions
knowing more than he does
He thinks he's being cool
but she can see his sweaty palms
He gets up the nerve to ask her
like she knew he would
Mindgames are her specialty
