I could feel his eyes staring down upon me,
so I looked up and he captured my gaze.
I don’t know how long we stayed like that,
but I wish it had been forever.

I’ll never forget the way he smiled,
the way he was smiling down at me.
It hurts so much to smile back,
to pretend everything is fine.

When in all reality,
he’s killing me inside.
He will never know how I felt
when my world went crashing down,
in just those few seconds,
when he was staring back at me.
