Hey guys. I know it's been awhile and I'm sorry. I'm not dead. I was just really busy with school and work. This baby was inspired by the song "You Don't See Me" by Safetysuit. This might be a little depressing but it has a sort of happy ending. Anyway please read and review. I will be updating my other stories too. I just have a lot on my plate right now. Please read and review. Thanks.

You Don't See Me

I was curled up on the couch with a big fuzzy blanket on my lap and a book in my hands. The TV was on but the volume was low enough to where it was just background noise. I heard the hiss of the sliding door as it opened and turned to see who had entered the living room. It was her. You were in the kitchen making yourself a cup of coffee when the doors opened. You looked up and blushed when she smiled at you. I watched as you began stuttering when she asked you how you were. I wish you would blush every time I walked into the room and stutter when you tried to talk to me, but I know it will never happen. You just don't see me that way.

I'd like to tell you and I'd like to say
How I, I feel right now
And I'd like to follow you down the hall
And see where it goes from there

But you, you don't care
'Cause you don't see me that way

I turn back around and open my book again. I wait until I hear the hiss of the doors and then sigh. I feel tears stinging my eyes and try to blink them away. I run a shaky hand through my violet locks and then resume reading.

A few hours later I looked up from my book and noticed that it had started snowing lightly outside. I marked my page and then closed my book. I set it on the couch and threw the blanket off my lap. I got up and stretched my achey muscles before walking into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. As I waited for the water to boil my mind wandered off to my raven haired leader. I had been meaning to tell him how I felt about him but I could never get a minute alone with him. I was shaken from my thoughts as the kettle shrieked telling me that the water was done heating up. I picked up the kettle and poured the water into my cup. I grabbed a tea bag and plopped it into the cup.

You don't see the way I look at you
When you are not looking at me
I wish that I could tell you every single thought I ever had
About you and me
But you don't see me that way

I picked up my cup with two hands and walked over to the big bay window that overlooked the city. I take a small sip of my tea and sigh making the window fog up a little. I take one last look at the city and then walk back to the couch. I hear the doors open and I can't help but turn around. I watch as you pull her into a hug and whisper something in her ear. I wish you were whispering sweet nothings into my ear and holding me in your arms. But no matter how much I hope, it's never going to happen.

And I'd like to hold you here in my arms
And have you never leave
And I'd like to give you all that I have
To have you stay with me

Oh, but you, you don't see me
You don't see me that way

I gather my things and make my way to the doors. As I walk up to the doors I sneak a glance at you. I wish you knew how much I love you. You're so enthralled with her that you don't see the way I look at you. Everyone thinks that my heart belongs to a green skinned vegetarian but it doesn't. My dark gloomy heart belongs to you. It always has and always will. I just wish I could tell you how I feel.

You don't see the way I look at you
When you are not looking at me

I wish that I could tell you
Every single thought I ever had
About you and me
But you don't see me that way

I walk into the kitchen the next morning to make myself some breakfast. I turn my back to the stove and watch as you play video games in the living room. I begin walking towards you but stop myself. I know if I tried to make a move you'd probably look at me like I was growing a second head. I lower my head and turn back to the stove.

I stare at you across the room
I maybe make a move at you
I don't think you'd take it too well

I steal a few more glances at you and then take my breakfast to my room. As I take a bite of my eggs I realize that you don't need me the way I need you. I set my fork down and put my plate on my nightstand. I get up and walk over to my window. Maybe if I told him how I felt sooner he'd see me differently. Tears prick the corners of my eyes and I let them fall. The room is silent except for the sound of my heart shattering into a million pieces. I sit down on the edge of my bed and let the rest of my tears fall.

I steal another glance or two
I maybe take a chance with you
But you, you don't need me
You don't even see me

And you don't see me that way
You don't see the way I look at you
When you are not looking at me

I wish that I could tell you
Every single thought I ever had about you and me
But you don't see me that way
No, you don't see me that way, no, no, no
No, you don't... see me... that way...

After a few minutes of crying I wipe my eyes and nose and take a few deep breaths. I put my hood up, grab my plate, and walk to the kitchen. I enter the kitchen and put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher. I hear arguing and I look up. I notice that she is yelling at you and you're yelling back. She glances at me and I quickly turn my head. She begins screaming again and you storm off. I glance at you as you walk by and you give me a small smile. I smile back at you and realize that maybe you do see me after all.
