Eyes

As Calleigh walked out of his office she wanted to stop,

turn around, do anything to stay, find some excuse to be with him… she so wanted to be with him…

But as always she left. Walked out his door, pausing just for a second, enough time for a thousand thoughts to run through her mind, but just a second.

The second the reluctance to leave his presence escaped, she stopped…

She hated leaving.

She never wanted to leave his office, his presence… him.

But he had made it perfectly clear that wasn't what he wanted.

She wasn't what he wanted.

He had made it known to her in so many ways.

She walked out quickening her pace.

They say love is blind.

They were right.

He had stopped touching her, stopped leaning just that bit to close, he had stopped looking at her for just that second too long.

He had stopped, and it broke her heart.

Slowly she was beginning to think it had never been there

She had felt so strongly towards him, that maybe it had never been anything more than an indulgence her subconscious had allowed her in the form of a waking dream.

No, she told herself, there had been something there, they had something and she knew it.

But she didn't know what she had done to make it all go away.

No matter how many times he hurt her she loved him.

Without resolve and without condition.

Even though he didn't love her back.

She loved him.

He probably never meant to hurt her!

She had no right to be hurt.

But she was.

Still more than any man she had ever met he made her smile.

Every time she spoke to him no matter what was going through her mind, what was pulling her to bits he made it go away and she smiled.

Every time she thought she was going to drown, his eyes saved her.

His eyes.

If she was close enough to see those beautiful eyes she was close enough to loose herself in them.

Those piercing beautiful eyes that bore into her soul were forever with her, in her heart, with their warmth, passion, intelligence and … god she would give anything to see lust… even love.

She used to take him for granted, she thought he would always be there for her, that he would catch her when she fell.

But now she was falling, she had finally decided to move on what she had felt for so long and he wasn't there, he wasn't there to catch her and she was scared he would never hold her, catch her, save her again.

In all her scenarios they would just slip into the love and bliss she had fantasized about every night for so long.

But that wasn't what was happening.

She needed him and he wasn't there.

Wasn't going to be there.

She had no right to be angry or even sad, but she did, she wanted him to feel like she did.

But he didn't.

He was every thing she wanted and everything she needed.

She couldn't live like this.

She had to move on.
