Attention Span

I am just a regular girl.

I don’t pass you by and elicit stares

or cause you to whisper,

“Wow, she’s cute,” and poke

your friend – unselfishly letting

her check me out, too.

 

You watch me, regardless.

I capture your attention with my eyes,

my smile, and my voice.

Before you know it, you’re hooked.

 

You think I’m sweet, smart, and

“so funny”… right up until

the glow of novelty wears off, and

you realize I am just a regular girl.

 

And your attention wanders elsewhere.
