i notice your sadness
but somehow
you've made it your attractiveness
something about that sad demeanor
i was intrigued
you would barely speak
but i wonder what you might say if you did
i want to know what you're thinking that makes you so blue
what's on your mind?
more importantly, why do i care?
i don't know anything about you
but i can't ask you
it's not my style
i swore i'd never browse
you passed by, looking so sad
you removed me from my daze
and from then on i stole any glance i could
i swore i'd never browse
but you passed by, looking so down
i should go to you and say
"don't frown, it'll be okay!"
but i can't tell you
it's not my style
my train of thought is fragile as is
you'll pass along the tracks
hands in pockets, gaze downcast
and it'll crash without your noticing
i swore i'd never browse
but you passed by, looking so sad
my sympathy went out to you
though i know not what for
i swore i'd never browse
but you passed by, looking so down
for all I know
your heart could be already be preoccupied
but i can't ask you
it's not my style
i want you to see me
no, I've changed my mind, please don't look!
...
did you look back, just now?

- Title: I Notice Your Sadness
- Artist: Her Kelliness
- Description: The poem makes me imagine a girl suddenly stopping as she recognizes someone or curiously peering around people to get a glimpse of someone interesting to her, and then she realizes what she's doing and keeps walking with a pang of shame and disgust with herself for falling for the mystery man, acknowledging the shallow fascination it really is.
