HOW I MAKE YOU FEEL

Do I make you uncomfortable?
Do you feel the intensity of my gaze and think my pupils are twin pools of mystery and ancient caves of dirty secrets? Do I dominate your dreams and invade your fantasies?
Do you try to trace my curves and contours on the wetness of your sheets? Do I cause your tongue to make love to your lips often as you imagine my smile and hear my soft laughter in some hidden plane in your brains?
Is that why you can't look me in the eye when I try to say hi? Is that why you do not acknowledge me even when I purposely nudge you mistakenly? Is that why you ignore me when I ask your friends what assignment we were given and you are in their midst? Is that why you treat me like I do not exist?

Or am I getting it all wrong? Am I getting the wrong vibes? Do I not make you want to carry me away in a big white ship to sail over seven oceans and seven blue seas? Do you mean I have just been wishing all along? Do you mean I really do not stand a chance to play a role in your love story? Does this mean you would always be my crush and you would never love me?
Is this what it all means?
I wish you could answer my questions and let me give you a pass mark.
