Eye-to-Eye Contact

Folder: 
Dedications

It was one thing
to have men ogle pictures
of me looking my best.


I tried dozens of
angles and poses
until one met my standards.


But to have men
notice me in person
was a whole nother level.


When you said that you
saw me singing along,
you left me giddy.


And I can't deny
that I tried to catch
your eye every night.


When you looked at me
and came over to say hi,
I was over the moon.


Maybe for you it was
completely innocent,
but you made me feel good.


I needed that attention,
that eye-to-eye contact,
to give me some confidence.
