It's the way he looks at her whenever she's around.
It's like nothing else matters in the world to him but her.
Her smile.
Her laugh.
Her eyes.
It's like when he sees her, everything in is just sunshine and rainbows.
He smiles at the very thought of her.
He loves every fiber of her being.
That kind of look in his eyes that I'll never get to see when he look at me.
Sometimes I wonder, what does she have that I don't?
Her ivory skin?
Grey eyes, just like his?
Her dark hair?
Or because she's from the Seam and I'm just the mayor's daughter?
Is it because she hunts in the woods with him and I just buy wild
strawberries for my father from them?
The determination she has to hunt for game in the woods-though
strictly illegal and punishable by public whipping whenever caught by
the peacekeepers-when they're low in food supply.
Why can't he look at me that way?
Is it because I don't have the spark that she has? Or because I don't
know how to use a bow and arrow? Hence, I can't hunt.
Or because of the little things like I don't have any friends and just
settles for her company whenever in school.
Or the big things like I'm the mayor's daughter, and because of that I
never had to apply for tessera to have food on our table.
I did everything for him to notice me.
I dress nice whenever they come to my house to deliver the strawberries.
I did things to help the people from the Seam.
I don't know why but I seem to annoy him in every level possible.
She said he's just a bit uptight. But he was never uptight whenever
she's around. He was always... Happy. And smiling, and laughing.
Maybe no matter what I do, it isn't good enough for him to consider me.
Maybe because I'm not her.
I just can't make him love me no matter what I do. And maybe he just
don't want to.
a/n: I'm in love with this song! and so I thought I should write something about it. And I think Madge's pov is perfect for it :)
I apologize for any grammar mistakes, English is just my second language but I'm doing my best to make it better :)
R&R would be appreciated :))
