HIm 2

alternate ending to HIm

I love the way he smiles at me,
I just never want to leave.

I love the way he shakes his head and says 'what!?'
I love the way he helped me with my cut.

I love the way I can hit him,
And he'll complain about bruises on his limb.

I love the way he walks,
And warns me about everything from ice on the walk to the chicken pox.

I love the way his hair is stained,
In a question this mark remains.

I love the way he's so sweet to his mom,
With her he's always calm.

I love how he picked me up when I fell on the ice,
Even thought I'd done it on purpose he was so nice.

I dream of him at night,
But still I try to rid him from my mind with all my might.

Because he's not my him,
To think it'll ever happen I'd be dim.

My heart it aches,
Every time a joke he makes.

Every time he smiles,
I remember that between us are miles.

I know he'll never be mine,
So I watch from behind.

I love him, it's true,
But if you asked him he'd only say 'who?'

So I just watch, waiting for a day that'll never come.
A sad tune I'll hum.
