A wonderful mistake

There was a very short time
When I made the mistake
Of thinking a certain girl
Liked me.
It was a wonderful mistake
That I played out in my mind
Every day and night.
I never approached her
To ask her out,
But we would talk
Every now and then
In the hallways
Or the elevator.
And she even called once
To ask me a question
About work.
I would see her from afar
When she couldn’t see me
And watch her.
She was beautiful.
Long blonde hair
And endless blue eyes.
But I realized my mistake
When she talked to me
Less and less.
And began to avoid me
In the hallways
And the elevator.
I don’t know what I did,
But I’m sure it’s just
The same thing
I do everytime.
