Oh, to be noticed...

The quiet girl,
barely utters a word.
Always armed with a book,
lost in her own world.
So thin,
So frail.

She thinks the world doesn't see her,
so she is fading away.
She no longer looks at the world,
eyes down to the words on the page.

She doesn't see the boy who watches her.
Waiting for one look,
one glance,
from his only love...

...his heart is breaking.
