it was the stillness in your eyes.
the hushed peace, lingering there. telling me i came back home.
it was funny, though. because there had been so much on my hands, on my heart. the bitterness sinks in and your eyes turn gray and no one knows who you are anymore. not even yourself.
it chokes you.
but one look at you and i knew everything was going to be okay.
you knew. i looked in your eyes and it was like looking right back into mine. glory stuck in the iris, gleaming goodness.
(He is good.)
how could i even put it all into words? He had to take it all. every last piece. it broke you. it broke me.
i laugh because it hurt so much. and i thought i'd never make it out, but here i am.
things change. things grow.
you know.
i can see it in the stillness in your eyes.
