You're nothing short of incredible,
while I am short of everything

I lack everything you have,
and so much more.

But somehow, in some way,
I caught your eye in perifial vision.

I had caught you in glimpses in the hallways and short grins as you pass me by

And in some way I imagined I caught you the way dirt catches your eyes.

It burns and irritates you, it makes your eyes go red.

When in reality, I had caught your eye in a sweet hazel way

In the way you long to look at the stars at night,
the way you long to look at them a little longer.

And for a long time, you were like a shining star in a jet black night.

Close enough to see the shining glimpses of you, too far away to ever see how beautiful you truly were.

It's like a shooting star wish come true.

I caught your eye by chance,
And I took mine when I realized I did.
