I Couldn’t Tell

It must be similar

To those moments 

Caught off guard

Where I watch you 

Walking away

And wonder why you have to go

How your elegance

Merely from existing

Is stunning

Is that what it’s like?

Are you distracted too

Because I decided

To be here 

Today

And my existence had been

Muted

A background thought

Until now?

Shaking 

Off

The shock

Takes more than just

Giving in

Being amazed

Am I that strong?

Is my presence

That missed?

I spend so much time with me

I’m sure I

Couldn’t tell
