Stare

By Brandon Colbert

Hey, you over there, forgive me if I stare.

I’ve been noticing you for a while; I really like your style.

From the first time we met, you fished me like a net.

Caught up in your beauty, ’cause you’re such a cutie.

Admiring you from afar, wondering who you are.

Just a stranger I see, wondering what could be.

More than just strangers–

I promise I’ll never put you in any danger.

We can start out slow; just let me know.

Know more about you as I tell you about me,

Letting our conversations go free.

The love that we both share,

Started with just a stare.
