He's got his hands around your heart and he doesn't even know.
So you try your absolute hardest not to show how much you want to get his attention So you act out.
You show your ass.
You speak loudly against him.
You act like you don't care, all the while caring more than you ever thought you could.
You catch his eye sometimes, and for a second,
just one second, you feel whole.
To see his eyes looking at you,
(are they grey or blue?)
almost, almost makes you feel like you don't need the bottle in your hand,
you could just drink in every word he says, soak up all the light he radiates.
But then the gaze is broken, and the light is gone.
So you keep drinking.
You drink until you're numb.
And maybe he notices. Sometimes.
But just like Icarus.
You got too close to the sun.
And you've fallen.
