Spotted

What was it that caught you
From the corner of your eye
That made you turn and look and stare
Initially, no reason why

And as you gazed, wondering
Were you noticed too
Did eyes meet yours and hold you there
For a second or two

And then the tension starts to build
When should you turn away
Don't stay too long, it's not polite
The first time, anyway

But you know if you don't linger
For just the right amount
Of seconds, ticking slowly by
Your look they'll just discount

So be brave, be bold, be resolute
Your focus please maintain
Don't see it as something there to lose
Only something you can gain

Look away, look away, look away
Then return and bide your time
When their eyes find you once again
The emotions are sublime

Feel the warming deep inside
They've spotted you, rejoice
Now prepare for your next big hurdle
When you have to use your voice
