People have always told me that I have beautiful eyes. It is my best feature on my depressing face. Even my past boyfriends have been fascinated by them, and I could never quite understand why. They were so eager to look deep into my hazel brown eyes, and once I got scolded for not looking back. I never could. Maybe I did it to shut them op, but it wasn’t sincere. I haven’t even looked my parents in their eyes, and first now I’m questioning why. It was always so fucking hard when I tried to. I always felt like they could look right through their fake-daughter. Like my boyfriends could look through their fake-girlfriend. I never was that girl. That girlfriend. That daughter, which they thought I was. I was just a fake, faking a persona, faking a feeling, faking a life. Even faking a face with a shitload of makeup.
I lead one person look into my eyes once. And it was horribly good. It was good-bad, but not bad-good. I wasn’t faking, I was faking him, faking his persona, faking his feelings, faking an idea about how it could be. Even faking our situation with wine. Wine made everything better. Made everything more real, more real yet fake.
My sentimental melody.
