Staring and Breathless

I entered the room.
I saw how your breath left.
I glanced your way
but only for a moment.
As I spoke to the person beside you,
you looked for any chance to speak.
I made it short and sweet.
Leaving you staring and breathless.
I entered the room.
You stopped everything.
Both eyes and mind on me.
Your lips say hi.
Your eyes show your soul.
I bet your heart fluttered.
I kept it short and sweet.
Leaving you staring and breathless.
I've now entered your dream.
I glance your way
but this time you take a chance.
Soon as you reach me, I disappear.
Swear you'll use your next opportunity?
Will you let me keep it short and sweet?
I pass you on the sidewalk.
You turn and stop me.
You keep it short and sweet.
Trying not to stare.
Maintaining steady breathing.
