No Small Wonder

I watch you, you know
Not in the stalker-esque way, mind you
But from time to time, I do sneak glances
I must admit

The way your black strands fall across your face
The crease in your brow when something ails you
The way your nose twitches in an endearing way
The small upturn of your lips when you half-smile

It's a wonder you even sleep
by the way you stay up till the dead of night
trying to finish some brilliant assignment

It's often enough
that people romanticize
the mannerisms of those they are enamored of

But you don't like romanticism
I've heard it from you enough
It's probably a good thing
you can't see into my head
You might just have an urge
to condemn me to the five years
in prison
just for thinking of such things

That in itself is endearing enough
You great prat

It's a wonder I've survived you for so long

You pace, don't you know
When you're overly worried
Perhaps I'm being to particular
to your mannerisms
But it's a way to pass the time
I'll admit

I think you know of my newfound interest
I think you know of my guilty habit
I think you know that I don't feel guilt at all

It's no small wonder that I observe you
Not a bit at all.
