lost memory

why can i see your jacket but not your hair

why can i see your teeth behind no smile

why can i hear your words but not your voice

why can i see your eyes with no sparkle

how can i be crazy about you

when we've met once and you don't know my name

how can i be upset that our schedules would line up

in three classes if you weren't so perfect with everything you do

why do i say that you're perfect

when you can't possibly be

why would you care about me anyway

i wipe the tables you eat on

soon i'll be lighting your beautiful face

as you strut around onstage

i hope i get to know you and i am disappointed

but i may not believe in love at first sight again

i imagine sitting next to you

and pretending i don't remember your name

or flashing you a smile as you walk away

from a class i am about to enter, or vice versa

how can i look you in the eye

when i know you don't really see me

why must you torture me with art

you should know that i'm a romantic

sitting in french II and wondering

if i'll sit in your seat again next block

i wonder if i meant to take your hat

because it was my one chance to talk to you

and then i smiled at you but you looked confused

i won't be discouraged even though you're clueless

but still i believe in love at first sight

even if you don't
