Monster

I couldn't see you.
I was trying to peer around the pink elephant that seperated us.
You rock back in your chair;
I frown.
Leaning on my stomach,
I look into your eyes.
The pain and fear in your eyes,
meet the understanding in mine.
You turn away, embarassed.
I protest.
"-Hey...
Hey!"
You look up,
Pain in your eyes,
reflecting tears.
My heart sinks,
and I can feel my own emotions start to boil to the surface.
I reach out and hold out my hand.
A paralyzing moment passes,
Our eyes meet,
and you wrap your cold fingers around mine.
I close my eyes,
and I bring your hand to my lips.
I can feel your depression seep into me,
slowly,
like a sickness.
I squeeze my eyes tighter,
and grasp your hands harder.
You will feel my faith.
You move closer to me,
and now i'm the one with the tears in my eyes.
i wrap my arms around you,
one hand behind your head,
the other pressed firmly against your back.
your body is warm,
and your familliar scent gives me hope.
You drive me home.
i look into your eyes,
and your kiss is light,
but genuine.
i hug you hard;
akward;
but genuine.
I dream of a day when you could understand how much i care for you.

And it feels so strange... don't let it waste away.
