I wish I could say
You didn't look good
But we both know that's a lie
(And lying was always your area of expertise
Not mine)
I forgot
(Not how you look
I could still pick your profile out in the shadows)
How brightly your arrogance shows
You walk into the room
Like you have every right to be there
And you own all the people in it
(Though everyone says differently)
I didn't remember just how intense
Your presence is
The way your voice rings out like truth
Words lingering in the air
Like the feeling after it rains
And then your dark eyes
Stare into mine
Not once but twice
Daring me to speak
Waiting for me to utter a word
But I can't
What is there to say
That would affect you
In any way
Because that's just it
I never had the slightest impact
On you
