Admiration

It’s Electronic screens, and open book, and blankets curled around a body,

I watch you,

You don’t exist – but when has that ever stopped me?

You’re a hero,

A detective,

An alien,

Anything you want to be,

And I’ll be here,

Watching you,

Being the hero that they need you to be.

You’ll fall in love with a girl,

Or she’ll love you,

Secretly

I want that.

I want that love,

A hug you give her,

A note she’ll slip to you,

All of the things lovers do,

And I’ll be here,

Watching you,

Being the admirer of your affections.

But all things come to a close,

You’ll accept each other’s confessions,

Like you always do.

I want to be in your world,

In her shoes.

A love for me,

A passionate caress,

A hero to my heart,

And you’ll be there,

Watching her,

While I’m here,

It’s Electronic screens, an open book, and blankets curled around a body,

I watch you,

You don’t exist – but when will that ever stop me?
