Sidelong
.
.
and as she turns to go,
her eyes are fixed on him
waiting for a sign
anything to make her stay.
.
he looks at her,
a sidelong glance
that tells her everything
that he could never say.
.
.
(i wish you would let me in)
.
.
and then she's gone,
back turned on a chance
that they both know
will never come again.
.
and for the first time,
he regrets pushing her away
for what will be
the last time.

a/n: Inspired by that three-second clip of Zuko and Katara from Crossroads of Destiny. How can so much emotion and tension be in one last glance? It's heartbreaking, almost.
