Dear girl with the eyes, those eyes.. the eyes you tried to hide from the world. Not for anything more than to keep them silent, because those eyes spoke volumes. Those eyes that whispered even behind photographs. I find myself day-dreaming as to the thoughts being conjured in the moment forever frozen in time. Were you half alive that day.. were you corroding slowly or were you brimming with childlike enthusiasm. Did you draw with the clouds & envision mythical fables coming to life or were you thinking about how the earth’s inhabitants are plummeting to their own demise. The lines along your brow were deceptive, crinkled like doubt, when they harbored mischief. You think I don’t notice you, but I do. All of you. I notice the way you pause after certain words, as if to ponder on their very existence. I notice the way you sound when you smile, or more so when trying to hide a smile. It’s as if the warmth behind your cheeks seeps through the sound waves to caress me tenderly. I noticed the way you fought a pout, but even with backs turned your despair commanded a sense of rescue. So that’s all I wanted to do.. rescue you. Many days I pictured my hands slipping in & out of yours, fingers intertwined like decade old ivy. I would hold your hand to my chest & trace the ways I loved you on the back. And when we ran back into time, I would whisper in your eyes that there would never be enough time to create the words lacked, to express how I felt about you. How I longed to feel your skin against my own, to get lost in one another. Fluid, not knowing where you began & I ended. I figured that was how it should have been. this love was not merging 2 into 1 , but 2 halves to make 1 whole. We would be complete, filling the void my soul has felt on this search to find half of itself..to find you. I was not so certain as to say you were the only fit for my puzzled life, but you knew the turns & twists of my soul & you weren’t scared. Instead you embraced & loved the scars, you understood without explanation…you knew me.. And I knew you, without knowing you. I knew the pieces you kept hidden, the pieces that you didn’t understand yourself. The world knew the facade spun up as an armor, but I knew the soul underneath it all, words were unnecessary..
