The Girl I'm Infatuated With

The Girl I'm Infatuated With

The girl I am infatuated with,
Tells her friends, she ignores my advances.
This flirtatious game she finds dismissive
Still, I stay the course and remain focused.

When I approach or pass her by, she stops
And acts neutral as if I didn’t exist.
Though disheartening, I calmly nod,
Like I’m thick-skinned and do not feel the sting.

For reasons, I cannot explain clearly;
Her negative response is challenging.
And so I pursue my heartfelt desire,
Despite the laughter and chide from her friends.

   Love is a paradox that has limits.
   Fear rejection!—Then live to regret it.
