How easily I am
distracted
From whatever I
do
By the flick of
her hair
The ways that she
walks
The glance from
her eyes
And the waft of her
perfume
That now fills
the office air
My mind’s not on
my work
Others seem
untroubled by
This girl with
such a frame
I think she
really is the best
Who clearly just
does not care
But I’m not in
her sights at all
She doesn’t even
know my name
I’ll ignore her,
which is best
She’s not the one
for me
How could I ever
measure up
Then one day
she’s at my desk
“I thought you
didn't like me”
as she asks for help on a job
Replies "No you're genuine, silly pup"
I found she was quite modest
And was glad I had let her be
While all the others ogled her
Wisely my distance I had kept
Safely observing from afar
She's summed us up, so I think
Perhaps love is finally astir

I can't count how many times I've encountered someone like this. Know how they tell us not to stare, mainly because it makes you look like a creep, but sometimes I can't just help it. If someone is looking nice and vibrant, I'm gonna look.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if she didn't really intend to attract all that attention.
ReplyDeleteThe man who keeps things professional is far more likely to pique the interest of a pretty woman for whom fawners are a dime a dozen.
ReplyDeleteAh how a pretty face turns heads eh! Wise move to pretend that he's ignoring her, that way she may well become interested. ^_^
ReplyDeleteOffices are a breeding ground - not always literally...spend that much time cooped up together and love is bound to arise
ReplyDeletea pretty girl turns heads whether they want it to happen or not. Some women are oblivious to the attentions of others.
ReplyDeletePlaying hard to get?
