She walks down the corridor, unaware of the pair of eyes following her every move
She carries her books, anxious to get to her next class
In the back of her mind, she wishes he would notice her, but believes he never will
If she only knew
He stands in an alcove, listening to his friend talk at him, but he is not listening
He is watching her
How she walks, so excited to learn
How she is so brilliant, and almost always willing to help him out
How he knows he loves her, but she couldn't love him back
If he only knew
She enters the classroom and takes a seat, preparing her materials far ahead of time
She wants to be ready, so she can finish her work and think to herself
Think about things she couldn't tell anyone
Things she only recently was able to admit to herself
She knows she loves him, but he couldn't love her back
If she only knew
Laughing, he enters the room
She is already there, as he knew she would be
She sits, patiently waiting for the arrival of the professor
He goes and sits with her, as he always does
He waits for her to acknowledge his presence
As always, a few minutes later she sees him
The way her eyes light up when she sees him gives him hope, just for a second
He quickly shoves it away
She couldn't see him the way he sees her
There's no way
If he only knew
They look at each other
They think, just for a second, "Maybe…"
NO! They were just imagining things, right?
Yes, mind tricks
That's what it is
If they only knew
