Did You Notice

I walk into this place feeling like I'm below everyone...yet disguising myself as someone above all the rest....
And as I walk through the crowd...I see him...I see her...we kiss hello...
Wow...I didn't realize how many people I knew...
I'm asked "how many out of all these guys have you 'personally' known"...I reply "one".
It feels good to know that out of all these people I am actually noticed....
But do you notice?
Do you notice me looking at you across the room?  Looking at you, wondering if you even noticed that I have arrived...I managed to notice you sitting there.
I walk over nonchalantly pretending to get a drink.... you extend your cheek..."hello"...and grab my leg.
What does that mean?   Do you want me to stay here...or shall I go, mingle with the others who actually noticed me walk in?
