The Girl He Never Knew

He walks by the street 

with no name,

and the girl he doesn’t know

exists.

She watches him go 

by every day. She never goes out 

to say hi. She’s afraid of what he’d say; that’s the reason

he doesn’t know the girl exists.

He walks by today, but something steals

his eyes from the road ahead. Two blue eyes. 

Staring out a window. The girl 

he never knew.

She sees him looking her way,

her breath is stolen. Chocolate eyes. 

He turns and walks down the street with no name

towards the girl he never knew.

He sees her blink; try to figure this out.

Knocking on the door, he hoped she’d answer.

The door opened, but just a crack, and to the girl he never knew he said,

“Hey!”
