Just Because. (Jalex)

I tried so hard, believe me, I did. But damn, his eyes were swallowing me more each an everyday. They would take me, piece by piece. But me trying hard wasn't hard enough I guess.

Just because I was put out into the world as someone whose heart was replaced by ice didn't mean I didn't have a heart at all. It just covered in the ice, meaning I was numb from the coldness.

I didn't know what I was doing, I was embarrassing myself, ruining my reputation, for someone who wouldn't glance at me twice, let alone once.

But let me tell you something- sometimes, trying is how you end up making someone realize that you are willing to change. And me? I longed for his sweet gaze, I weakened at the knees when at the though of his smile, maybe one day I would be the reason of the creased that appear at the corners of his eyes when he smiled or laughs. God, I hope so.
