"It's As If"

It's as if she just
Doesn't want to see-

Reality-

Blended in with all my fantasies:

As she persistently
Refuses to heed
The voice that calls her-

And that voice is me.

For in my own heart,
Like a manuscript-
I have her name written down
Upon page after page-
That put all together
Would fill a million books:

But from her,
At any given time
That I see her around-

I am seldom blessed
With hardly more
Than a single look:

It's not as if I'm asking
For the world-

I just want her-

Her!

The one
I call
The Beautiful Girl.
