Anticipation
By Lylani
Its that giddy nauseous feeling
Of half forgotten teenage dreams
Maybe you would...
...notice me
...want me
...love
me
Maybe tonight
our hands would brush against each others
we would smile
and know
this is it
I would try not
to try too hard
to be perfect for you
but I'd fail and find
myself
falling
tripping over half finished sentences
uttered
too eagerly
oh how I would bathe in your attention
if
I could just steal a moment of it
to steal your heart

beautiful set up, tease and success, closed out with an "if..." You tell of the world that lives within a momentary glance so well.

The second last stanza is really brilliant. The whole thing is very good, but still. "I would try not to try to[o] hard / to be perfect for you / but i'd fail and find myself / falling" It's sequential and knowingly set up for that failure you just can't resist. Awesome work. *tips hat*
