You Noticed Me

You notice me.

I’ve loved you for so long and finally, you notice me. Our eyes meet for what seems like the first time. My hand grazes yours. I swear I see sparks fly. You smile. A full row of perfect teeth. You ask me about my day. Ask my name. You say, “A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.” I blush as you hand me your card and tell me to “call you”. As if I’d ever have the nerve. You leave. I toss the card in the trash. I’ve gotten what I’ve wanted from you.

You noticed me.
