Broken.In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I stared at her. Her face glistening with sweat from her short lived flight and I smiled. Beautiful. Blonde curls from the front of her head stuck to her forehead slightly. With her blue eyes staring at the floor, her head tilted down slightly. The moonlight basked the room in a mysterious glow, lighting her face perfectly.
I suppose
And your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders as the shook. I heard her chuckling under her breath. "Max?" I questioned. Awe as to what she could be laughing at.
"I'm sorry."
Not a million fights
Could make me hate you
You're invincible
Yeah, It's true
I smirked too. I loved this girl so much. No matter what she did, how she acted, I knew I always would. It was my burden, and I could not share. I wondered how she managed it. To laugh at a time like this when my heart was shattering, just to be this close and not be able to touch.
It's in your eyes
Where I find peace
I looked up and saw her staring at me. Her eyes caught mine and I saw them glisten. That same glisten I'd seen on the beach after our first kiss. The same glisten that I used to see whenever she looked at me. The glisten that would easily light up the night sky as it did my life every day. Her eyes looked away and the glisten, so easily, vanished.
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let's light up the town, scream out loud!
"Max" I stated, my voice straight. All my effort went into not giving anything away. Her hair had fallen over her face, veiling her eyes from mine. The silence grew, I moved my hand out to touch her shoulder reassuringly. I couldn't have her not look at me. I needed to see her eyes, catch that glisten one more time. If that was all I could have.
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You're ready to break
Don't look away.
I moved my hand up to her neck, to her cheek, tilting her head to look at me, looking in her eyes. The glisten reappeared and she smiled shyly, looking down. "Don't" I whispered. She looked back, her eyes searching for an answer to my need for her gaze. I needed to know she could see me. Know that I was there, for her.
So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
Both of our bodies statue onto the bed. Our position immersed in the suns glowing dawn as it clawed its way across the sky and into the room. We both sat in the silence. Taking in each others presence. How I wished I could lean in to her. Have her lips on mine, but it was not fair. I could not keep stealing each kiss, I knew now that she couldn't be mine.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we'll wonder
If we will last these days
"I can't do it Fang" she muttered.
"Do what?" I asked looking up at her. Confusion spread across my face.
"I can't do this, be with you but not with you" she said. This was not helping my confusion. "Every time you kiss me… I can't" she stood. I grabbed her arm, causing her to hesitate.
If I asked you to stay
Would you tell me
You would be mine?
"Max? Don't leave" I pleaded. I had to explain. I had to let my mask down enough for her to understand me, for her to understand that I needed her, I needed her smile in my life, I needed her presence. It killed me everyday for her to be nothing more than a friend. That all she would ever see me as is a friend. I wanted so much more.
And time
Is all I ask for
"Just one more second, let me explain"
Time
I just need one more day
How could I put into words what I feel? How could I put each heavenly feeling for her into words? How could I make her understand? This was too hard. Her face was looking away. Her shoulders sagging slowly, disappointment ebbed out of her.
And time
You've been crying too long
She turned to face me, her eyes glistening, but differently from before. Tears filled, veiling her beautiful eyes in sorrow and despair. I couldn't do this. I had to do this.
Time
And your tears wrote this song
Stay
"Please, stay with me, I need you to understand!"
"Understand what Fang?" She asked, turning to face me. I gulped, this was it.
"Understand that each time you walk away from me, my heart shatters. You're destroying me Maximum Ride." I whispered.
"What?" She bend down, to look me in the eyes. Lifting my chin so I was forced to look back at her.
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Light shadowed her face, the fresh tears sparkling in the glow of the sun. Her old glisten was back.
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let's light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
"What are you saying Fang?" There was a slight twist of anger in her voice. Then it clicked. It clicked why it hurt so much, why I wanted to be with her every second of every day. Why I wanted to touch her. To kiss her.
"I'm in love with you."
I can see in your eyes
You're ready to break
Don't look away.
