Corner of My Eye

Hello, nice to see you again.
It has been a long time.
Do I miss you or not, my friend?
If I didn’t, would it be a crime?

I may hate you or be scared.
I may yell at you to go away.
Although only in my mind, never shall I dare.
All I can do, is hope you won’t stay.

I hope you don’t show yourself.
Although, I’m not quite shy.
I don’t want to see for myself,
What’s in the corner of my eye.

Try as I might,
Try as I will,
I can't get you out of sight,
Even when you stand still.

Even when I try to look,
There is nothing there.
So I go back to my books,
As I feel someone stare.
