His eyes had never lied to her, even though he acted differently every time she saw him, and did his words mean nothing in this world. His presence was mysterious. Casey felt overwhelmed with feelings when she looked at him, listened to him and talked to him, once in a while. Afterwards she felt ashamed about that, but he did seem to understand her. Even though he never spoke back, his eyes answered her. If she could only come closer... Her only wish was that he'd build a bridge between them. Every time she saw him she felt better, but the distance remained. She only seemed to have his eyes, the rest of him simply passed her silently.
Casey shivered and pulled a blanket over herself. If only she had his body to keep her warm, but she never got more of him than a sympathetic look. His eyes seemed to compose complete symphonies for her, but what was the point when she only got to look at him and he would never get closer to sing them for her. But then, she would never know if his words would hold the truth... His eyes on the other hand - those two dark blue pearls in his pale, pink face - would never lie. He could talk with his angelvoice until he sounded like a chain smoker, but that voice would never bring truth, even if that voice belonged to him.
If only she could run away with him - and it didn't matter where they would go. Alone with him; then she'd be able to be together with him and to experience him, in stead of only watching him. Maybe then she would feel more comfortable with him than she did now. She would feel more of him than those piercing eyes. She saw him so often already, she wanted more: she wanted to hear him speak to her, she wanted to embrace him. Yes, that was her only wish!
She would feel so much better if she could experience him for real. But she only had his movies... Casey sighed and grabbed the remote control to rewind the video. She would have to do with those damned eyes.
