I didn’t notice her before…but now I do.<br>
The shiny strands of gold in her silky brown hair.<br>
Tiny crinkles between her eyebrows when she frowns.<br>
Her passion for neatness.<br>
<br>
Once I focus on her, I can’t take my eyes from my newest obsession. Ever.<br>
I need to know everything about her.<br>
Her past. Her present.<br>
The way she takes her coffee.<br>
Exactly how she smells after a spritz of perfume in the mornings.<br>
<br>
She’s perfect in every way and I was blind.<br>
But, God, now do I see.<br>
<br>
I notice the organized way she arranges her clothes in her closet.<br>
How she visits the same market each Saturday.<br>
The sounds of her breathing as I lie beneath her bed in silence.<br>
<br>
Violet is mine.<br>
She just doesn’t know it yet.
