i'll stay forever

Every day, I sit and stare

at you talking about what others consider nonsense. 

I'd call you a wordsmith,

Staged-like words flowing off the tip of your tongue. 

I hunch in the corner of the group,

hoping to be seen,

yet, being invisible at my own will. 

You glance at me a few times,

though you never let the stare stay.

You comment about something I know

and I respond soporifically. 

I'm rooted to this spot

until I see you go. 

You'll run down the street,

like someone's at your feet,

speeding away from me. 

I make it weird,

uncomfortable

awkward

strange.

No one wants to tell me to shove off,

so I stay. 

I stay because you make me happy,

even if you act like you hate me half the time. 

I know you won't ever see, or even like me,

But now you know why I can never leave.
