Secret

It's as if someone didnt tell me.

The earth never stopped moving.
Time didn't stand still.
Little pieces of confetti stayed tucked in their bags.
Yet she still walked into the room.

I've always believed in love at first sight
but normally it's followed by fireworks
or the demolition of an old building.
How can this be so simple?

No opera's, royal ballets, or tired
renditions of classic Aerosmith song's.
A calm smile, cheerful eyes, and
nothing happened.

Two decades of emotion wrapped
up in a little grin and not so much as
a hair raised on the back of my neck.
Either I don't know what love is
or I'm just too blind to notice.
