I like her but she likes him


I have to admit it, she’s very pretty
Pretty in a way that people stop and stare
When she is in my company
All I think about is how to make her mine
Unfortunately for me, she only has eyes for him
She is mesmerized by his persona
She is another person entirely when he is nearby
Unfortunately for her, he doesn’t notice her
He is oblivious of the attention that she gives him
He is unaware of the feelings that she has for him
Sometime I wish that she would just give up on him
And maybe then I can finally make my move
Sometimes I wish that he would notice her
And maybe then I finally could move on
