I stare ... you don't.
I sit there. Next to you.
I can only see your profile.
But it's beautiful.

I stare ... you don't.
I stand there. Behind you.
I can only see the back of you.
But it's beautiful.

I stare ... you don't.
I'm there. In front of you.
I can see your face this time.
It's the most beautiful.

I stare ... you don't.
You are there. In front of me.
You can see me. But you don't.
You don't think I'm beautiful.

I stare ... you don't.
