A/N: I was listening to my Glee CD in the car on the way to Burger King, and this song by Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele came on. I hadn't ever really listened to it, so I heard the lyrics closely, and immediately a thought popped into my head.
Gale.
This song perfectly describes Gale's feelings for Katniss, all wrapped up into one convenient song. It was just a flash of inspiration, so please don't criticize me too much. No flames please.
I don't own the Hunger Games and it's characters, or the song Hello by Lionel Ritchey.
Bold: Song lyrics
Normal: My thoughts
Him: Gale
Her: Katniss
I've been alone with you inside my mind
Wouldn't you think that Gale thinks about her all the time?
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
Who knows what goes through the boy's mind? I really wouldn't doubt it.
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
They live packed together in a small place. I wouldn't be surprised.
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
Well, he sure hopes it is.
I can see it in your eyes
He looks into her eyes all the time when they're hunting together.
I can see it in your smile
The smile only he can give her.
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
We all know inside that he wants her, and his arms are open wide for her multiple times, the most memorable when she's about to leave for the Hunger Games in the first book.
'Cause you know just what to say
She's great at making him smile just as well.
And you know just what to do
She knows how to fight, hunt, everything that he thinks is amazing.
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
He wishes that he could say it, but he just doesn't know how.
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
He probably does. Just think about it.
And tell you time and time again how much I care
He wants it.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Does this really need explaining?
Hello, I've just got to let you know
He's struggling to find a way to share his feelings.
'Cause I wonder where you are
In the arena. He wonders how she's doing, if she's ok.
And I wonder what you do
To live. Is she fighting? Killing? Hunting? He has no idea what to think.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
This is a big one. He really worries if she's alone. And, later, she's with Peeta. He's being forced to watch her love someone else, and I'm not sure if he knows it's fake.
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
So true! He has no idea what to say to her, how to start.
But let me start by saying, I love you ...
He needs to find that last bit of courage first.
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
He's still hoping.
'Cause I wonder where you are
Same as before.
And I wonder what you do
Also same as before.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
I wonder how he feels about her and Peeta being together on camera.
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you
He tries to find the courage, and he finally does… in the cabin in Catching Fire. But now what?
