The Chase

The bell sounds
And the chase begins
They both knew this when they first met

That first flush of attraction
She goes to her circle of friends
He to his

Shyly she glances towards him
Too late!
She is ensnared by his gaze

Subtly the appraise each other
No complaints on either side
The like what they see

A mutual friend tells one about the other
Never letting on they know how they feel
Encouraging him/her to talk to the other

But who will make the first move??
Who will make the first contact
I don't know.....

but neither do they

Written when I was 17, I can remember where I was when the words started in my head...but not why.
