He knows

Etching of The Reunion of the Soul and the Body by William Blake, 1813

The way I'm distracted,
How I stare into space.
The way I look lost,
The smile on my face.

He knows.

The way I say "huh?"
When he asks me a question.
It's clear, I no longer
Am paying attention.

He knows.

The way I forget things
I only just did.
I'm scattered, unfocused
Until my phone pings.

He knows.

The way that it happened
Without even thinking.
Falling for you
Was easy as blinking.
