Can't You See?
Can't you see?
The way she looks in his eyes. The way he looks right back into hers. He's got her good. He's got her oh so good. When she looks at him, she sees more than his face. She sees more than his age. And she sees more than his personality. She sees so much more. Like an old dog, nearing its end, she stands by his side, and stares into him. She stays quiet. Today is the day she'd dreamed of since she was young. On any other day, she'd laugh at his jokes, or laugh at him for being so forward. She's hardly listening to one word he says. She's focused, relentless. She's calm, and collected. Her breaths are deep, slow, and easy. Her heart beats in time with his. She finds that she really does love him. he's in love with her too. Plain as day. They're in love, can't you see? I can. The way she stares in him, and he stares back, I can see that. I like watching it. I like watching them develop. I want good things to come to them, because the way they look at each other, when they think no one's watching, and no one can hear what they whisper, that's the way I look at her. I love a girl who is in love with another boy, but I'm happy for her. For being happy.
