Disclaimer:I don't own these characters; this is merely a stress reliever. But if I did all my boys would've gotten a better ending and not that crap fest we were forced to watch.

He's smiling again that beautiful bright smile, it's not because of you, he'll never look at you that way… that 'I love you so much, I can't see straight' way. Still you stay because you love him, need him. He needs you too in fact he loves you- but you'd be stupid to think it's in the same way; it'll never be that way. Yet you'll stay- be there for him because he's not- at least not yet.

So you'll stay because he's what you want… He stays because….

You know why he stays; he's waiting for…you're a decoy a mere distraction until…

You knew this- know this and besides you're smarter then this, you should be gone now, on a plane back to a life that use to work before him, before blond tresses and hazel hue clouded your brain, your judgment.

When he smiles at you, you feel complete and all reasoning, common sense just fly's right out the window. Thoughts of leaving and catching the next flight become a faded memory.

You hold on to the fact that yes, he does love you. "If there were know No-" You shake your head decide it's no use in thinking about it, you're already stuck, already all the way in.

You're at a standstill, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And you go back to the fact that he loves you, it's true, you can feel it, especially when he kisses you- but there's a light, a shine missing, that extra kick- umph. But you ignore it, you have to, you can't give up so easily… can't give him up so easily.

Sometimes you see that smile… That light, that shine and you want to believe it's because of you, want to believe something's changed- shifted except you're know fool just wishful. You know it's because he's been mentioned and that name's been thrown around between people who miss him just as much as he does.

Yet like always you stay, those eyes that smile keep you stuck, so really it's your fault you should've left awhile ago- cut the cord.

You know he'll come back for him and he'll run straight to him leaving you stranded. He won't have meant to have done it- but it was inevitable you knew this.
