His eyes sparkle in the way that suggests he's hiding something. As he turns his head, I see the mischievous smirk hidden by the way he holds himself, and the shy shadow covering his emotion. He's never where he wants to be, I can tell from the way he's ducking his head. Could that be him? No. I'm sure he never had that harsh tint to his emotion, I'm sure he never walked that briskly.

They can't see how hard you're looking for the one person who can make it all Go Away. Anyway, regardless, it's hard. When you're imaginary.
