I wish I could tell him how I feel.
But I can't.
It would only cause pain.
He can't know.
No good would come of it.
Or at least that's what I tell myself.
That's what I _must_ tell myself.
Otherwise...
No. Forget the otherwise.
I glance at him covertly.
But what if...
No! No "what if."
Forget it, Sam.
Just forget it.
Remember who he is.
It would hurt to tell.
It would hurt both of us.
Just... just don't think about it.
But...
No but!
"Carter?"
I snap out of my reverie.
"Sorry, Sir. I was just daydreaming."

I watch her and try not to catch my breath.
She's so lovely.
I can't tell her that, of course.
She doesn't think of me like _that_.
I'm her commanding officer.
At best her friend.
She doesn't think of me like I think of her.
And it wouldn't matter if she did.
It can't happen, O'Neill, and you know it.
I only wish...
No. Don't finish that thought.
It can't. So forget it.
But I still watch her, and hope no one notices.
I try to be discreet, but maybe they all see me.
And I just keep watching her.

God, they're so good together.
A blind person would notice it.
But they're both completely oblivious.
It's almost annoying, the way they just don't get it.
But it's so cute!
The way they sometimes look at each other...
It makes me want to scream, and laugh, and cry.
Because nothing can come of it.
Stupid as it may be, it's against the rules.
And they both know it.
Maybe they're not so oblivious.
Maybe they just hide it, because they know nothing can come of it.
They're so good together.
I just wish they could act on it.
If only...
