"Nick, He Could Always Make Her Laugh..."
—
I'm in love with someone who is in love with someone else. This cliché seems rather content, keeping my desire company while mocking my heart every time I feel her energy near.
Why won't you open your eyes...
My eyes seek the soft brown of her hair as hers seek the salt and peppered dusting of his. Many nights I have pondered the unreciprocated attraction, this bordering obsession that has developed from but an innocent crush; which transforms the strong, confident and beautiful woman I know, into a spoiled, insecure and demanding child.
Why won't you let your heart lead the way...
I always thought love was supposed to be comfortable, bringing out the best in both participants, assuring that smiles, intimacies and even disagreements will build a harmonized future together. Have you noticed that she doesn't smile anymore? ...well, not like she used to.
Why won't you realize that he can't make you feel...
There was a time when I believed that I was helping her move on - closing the chapter in her life. When I helped her out of that tub, the electricity caused by our touch seemed to go straight to my heart, causing it to beat faster. I know she felt something too, I felt it in her gaze. The eyes never lie and I saw glimmers, sparks of affection directed only at me. But...even the strongest of candles eventually dim.
Why won't you trust someone else with your heart...
And as I sit here, watching her fill out our case review, I scoff at the fact that, she's devoted her heart to chasing someone she can't have. ...and it's then I realize, I've been doing the same thing.
...why won't you accept what's been in front of you all along?
