Across the desk
he gave the blonde a sideways glance
and I felt neglected.

Across the hall
he gave the brunette a little smile
and I felt crushed.

Across the soccer field
he gave the redhead a catcall
and I felt desolate.

Across the desk
I gave him a shy smile- he smiled back;
and I felt as if I were soaring.
