The world through your eyes

2008-10-31

There are things I see today that I have never seen before. I have travelled the same streets, walked the same paths, met the same people, but I don’t I have ever seen them. But in your eyes, everything is magic and wonder. There are nuances in the trees and flowers I never noticed before. Even the pictures on my wall look different now.

When I show you places I’ve been before, they suddenly become new and exciting as you point out the color of a leaf, the movement of the sand, a bird singing. All the things I ever missed and never knew because I never opened my eyes, or my heart.

You show me parts of others I never noticed before. You help me see all that is special and sacred in others and the world around me. Colors, sights, and sounds that always touched me, but never moved me.

Perhaps I have spent too much time alone immersed in my own thoughts and dreams that I never believed that sharing them could give them deeper meanings. Perhaps I never believed that someone else would take my words seriously. Maybe it was easier to hide and see fewer colors.

I only wish you could see yourself through my eyes. My words will never find meanings strong enough to tell you what I feel every time you touch me. Your presence leaves me stunned, amazed, surprised. I am awed.

If the world through your eyes is as fantastic as it seems to me, then what do you see when you look at me?

I can only hope that I find the strength to let you see everything you are meant to see. That my fears do not betray my heart. That you feel how strongly my heart longs for you. That somehow you sense that every moment with you is sincere and honest.

And perhaps through your eyes, I will find the courage, to show you the world through my eyes.
