You think I don't notice the way you look at her. But I do, Jack. You don't do it very often, but you do, nonetheless.
I see the way your eyes fall to her lips when she speaks, mesmerized. I see the way your eyes glaze over her body, as if she's the only one who can sate your need. I see the way your face knots in anger and frustration when you see her touching him, kissing him.
You think I don't notice the way you touch her. But I do, Jack. You don't do it very often, but you do, nonetheless.
I see the way you hold her close, taking her scent in, when you don't think anyone is watching. I see the way your hand finds a way to clasp around hers, never willing to let go. I see the way your body yearns to be near her, even if it's just for a minute more, a second more.
You think I don't notice the way her name escapes your lips when you're dreaming. But I do, Jack. You don't do it very often, but you do, nonetheless.
I lay here in bed beside you, tangled within the sheets and the scent of your skin.
Why don't you notice me, Jack?
Don't you see the way my eyes fall to your lips when you speak, mesmerized?
Don't you see the way my body yearns to be closer to you, even if it's just for a minute more, a second more?
I wish you could see, Jack. I wish you would finally see that this stupid little heart of mine is knocking upon your door.
But you don't, Jack.
Not when she clearly has a hold of yours.
So I'll just lay here and wait. Wait for the day when you'll be the one who will seek my lips. That one day, you'll be the one bathing my body with whispers and promises of love. That one day, you'll be the one calling me, needing me, keeping me close to yourself.
I'm here, Jack.
Look at me.
Please.
