When I look into your eyes 

I see nothing but eyes.

I dont see what you're feeling 

Or what you think of me. 

I see nothing but a dead language. 

And I'm sorry. 

 

But when I look into his eyes, it's like being reborn. 

The way those brown    c      s

                              i               e 

                                 r    c     l 

Wrap around me 

Makes me want to dance. 

I want to be with him.

And while I know that I can't, 

When I lie beside him, 

It feels natural. 

 

And there is nothing I can do. 

I wish that when I looked into your eyes that I saw regret. 

And I hope that you see the regret and the longing for him when you look into my eyes. 

Because that longing and regret 

It beats at my tearducts every time I see you. 

It pulls at my heartstrings in the dead of night. 

 

So please, see me 

Let me love him. 

Or the next time you look into my eyes, 

You may see anger instead of anguish hiding behind my eyelashes.
