Heh. Can you tell what episodes I've been watching? 'Nother helping of angst, please!


In the moonlight I can see him
Dark and brooding, standing silent
I can see the thoughts flickering
Behind those indigo eyes
Sea-blue in the sun, I know
But moon turned them dark and cold
Thinking so deep, I can see
His agile mind unraveling
The twisted tale unfolded
In mayhem before us
Alone in his strength he walks
Never noticing, never seeing me
Never realizing that I too walk alone
Carrying the same burdens as he
If he would just reach out to me
I would share his burden and maybe
He could share in mine
In dreams too many I have wanted
Someone to understand all that I am
I met him, I know him, I see him
Every day I work with him
I thought I saw the same feeling
Burning in those blue eyes
But when I asked, he turned away
Rejection so easy on his lips
Crushing all those dreams
And in one instant I lost so much
I lost the dreams that filled my days
I lost the friend by my side at night
And above all else, I lost him
I lost the warm touch
Of a hand on my arm
I miss the days when I caught
Him stealing glances at me
A spark dancing deep in those eyes
I lost his friendly jokes
And a gentle teacher
To cold and distance, and those eyes
Have gone cold and hard as sapphire
When he looks at me
I can feel my heart shatter
Every time he turns away from me
My dreams are dashed and gone
The dreams about the man who stands
By my side and ten thousand miles away
And still I can feel the heat of him
Warm and strong where he stands
I still yearn for the touch
Of those full lips on mine
For the chance to be held
Safe and deep in those arms
Against the man that I thought
Knew me better than I did
I dared to dream once
That he would be the one
Who understands me.
