When I Look at You
When I look into your
eyes, I feel myself float away and be sucked so deep in your soul that I can
almost feel its warmth. The goodness that shines in those eyes makes me feel
like the luckiest person in the world.
The way you smile
stops time and when tears fall from those beautiful warm almond eyes I feel as
if I can perceive all the suffering you have gone through and it cracks the
stone barrier around my heart.
When I see those eyes
fill with wonder, I see the starry bubbles in the corner of your eyes.
When I look into your
eyes I see you, the whole you, the darkest parts and the gleaming hearts.
I see your kindness and your generosity.
You might think I do
not know you but in reality you are further from the truth than I am from
Pluto.
I observe what
you like, the way you move, the way smile; the wrinkles on your forehead when
you are confused.
I know you like Ice Cream and you
would eat any flavor but you love butterscotch with a dash of sprinkles on top.
I know that no matter how
many times you fall you will rise up and never show your pain.
I know the only way you can
feel is if you are surrounded by people you trust.
I know you want to be seen as cold but inside you are nothing but
a crazy funny personality.
I know you like coffee but cannot
drink it without a dash of cinnamon in it.
I know you are scared to talk
about your past because it not one of the good ones but feel guilty about
thinking that because it is not half as bad as of some of the other people you
know.
I know you compare yourself to
everyone you meet and try to be better than them because you have been looked
down on enough.
I know you get angry if someone
jokes about abuse because you have seen what it can do to love.
I know a million things about
you..................
But you only see what I have shown
you.
