Hanging by a Moment

A/N: Wow, two stories in one night. AND two slash ones at that. I feel… slashy. XD Oh yeah, it’s Hanging By a Moment by Lifehouse. Hope ya like it!

Hanging by a Moment

A slight grin was all that I needed to get the blood pumping. I mean, his teeth were perfect, his lips were perfect, his nose was perfect… hell, his entire face was perfect. He was perfect. And he was everything that I couldn’t have…

Desperate for changing 
Starving for truth 
I’m closer to where I started 
Chasing after you
 

He was everything I could ever want. He sang in a choir, and had a gorgeous voice. He played in a band, and did a hell of a good job at it. He was my friend, and that meant just about everything to me. It gave me a reason to be around him, a reason to look and smile… too bad it didn’t give me a reason to love him.

I’m falling even more in love with you 
Letting go of all i’ve held onto 
I’m standing here until you make me move 
I’m hanging by a moment here with you 

I think he knows I like him… he hints at it every now and then, saying simple things like, “Stared enough?” or “Want some of this?” I sometimes wonder if he does know… if he doesn’t, he does one hell of a good job acting like he does. God I love that guy…

Forgetting all I’m lacking 
Completely and complete 
I’ll take your invitation 
You take all of me 

…even if he does know, I doubt he returns the feelings. I’m far from the perfect guy. I’m average. There really isn’t any other words to describe me. There really isn’t anything special about me… well, ‘cept the being gay part. But that’s a given there.

Now.. I’m falling even more in love with you 
Letting go of all I’ve held onto 
I’m standing here until you make me move 
I’m hanging by a moment here with you 

Look at him… singing his heart out tonight… it’s a concert, and he has a solo. I just had to come… I’d jump at just about any chance to stare at him… he’s irresistable… I can’t stop…

I’m living for the only thing i know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
I don’t know what i’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

I think he’s singing the entire song… can’t wait for him to come up… I can barely see him and I’m already about as spaced out as ever. Most people would call me obsessed, I just call myself… in love?

There’s nothing left to lose 
Nothing left to find 
There is nothing in the world that can change my mind 
There is nothing else 
There is nothing else…
 

He’s finally coming up… I can see him walking up… my eyes haven’t left him… the perfect boy, walking up toward the mic, getting ready to sing his heart out… wish I knew what song he was gonna sing…

Desperate for changing 
Starving for truth 
Closer where I started 
Chasing after you

I blinked hearing the first verse… he hadn’t mentioned anything about his solo being a love song… Wait… now his eyes are travelling the crowd… I wonder who he’s looking for…? 

I’m falling even more in love with you 
Letting go of all i’ve held onto 
I’m standing here until you make me move

He started his search on the opposite side of the crowd as I was on… kinda depressing. He knew exaclty where I was sitting… then again, he’s not looking for me. *sigh*

I’m living for the only thing I know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
I don’t know what i’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

Now he’s made it over to my side of the crowd… obviously he didn’t find whoever he was looking for. Too bad for him… wait… he’s loooking at me…?

Just hanging by a moment 
Hanging by a moment… 
Hanging by a moment…
 

As he sings the rest of the song, his eyes are locked on me… I wonder…? Do you think…?

Hanging by a moment here with you…

His eyes are boring into me… I hope… I really do…
