In Your Eyes.

In your eyes...

I see every part of you that you have chosen to show me and every part that you have yet to show me.

I see the sweetness in your soul.

I feel the gentle nature of your spirit.

I feel the softness in your touch. I feel the warmth in your heart.

I feel it in the way your eyes meet mine. I feel it in the way you look at me, in the way you hold eye contact in the softest way.

I see the care that emulates into all that you care about in this life.

I see a kindness that is purer than the world deserves.

I feel the genuity of your intentions.

I see the truth in them.

I feel the walls. The walls that you have had to build because people betrayed you, because they didn't know how you love you and care about you like you deserve. The walls that you have built so tall because of the people who never caught you, the people who you thought always would. The ones who let you down that you are still in ways trying to make peace with. The walls that you are afraid to let crumble down again.

I see the hurt. But I also see the happiness in how you've grown, by choice and by life.

I see the pain, but I also see the pride. I see the lost parts of you that coexist alongside the found parts, the pieces that you have pieced back together and made stronger.

I see the fear in letting someone back in. For your own sake and for the little veggie nugget in your life. I see how much consideration you put into every decision in how it impacts her before you think about yourself.

I see the appreciation within you for the simplicity of what this life has to offer and all the experiences that have brought you to this point. I see the kindness in the perspective that you live your life through.

I see the journey that it has taken you to become the person you are today.

I see the strength that has come from it all, the strength that goes without being said. I feel it, I understand, and I respect you for it.

I see someone who has always unapologetically lived their truth through everything life has thrown your way, someone who has never wavered in the resolve of the things that make you, you. The things that you value. The ones you love most. The things you care about. The light your heart shines.

I see how the pain has only shown you how to be better, how to find another way. I see someone who has experienced so much pain and has still only ever tried to shield others from feelings the effects while trying to heal simultaneously.

I see how the pain has helped you understand life better, appreciate life more in all the little things and little ways that truly matter. The little things that show you who someone is and what matters at the end of the day.

I see the home that you have worked so hard to build. For yourself and for your daughter. For the little girl that lives inside of you and the right that lives right beside you. I see how she is in every way the best of you. I see how she is the heart in you.

I see the beauty in how you try to hard to be the best in this life for yourself and for her. I see the beauty in everything that you are and in everything you are becoming.

I see the desire to never settle in this life. I see the lust for life.

I see the wanderlust and adventurous spirit that lives within you.

I see the magic that lives within you. I see the life in you.

I see the fire that burns inside of you that drives you to love the way you do, to live the way you do, and be everything that you are every day.

I see the parts of you that still choose good in a world full of bad. I see the parts of you that choose patience over anger. I see the parts of you that choose love over hate. I see the parts of you that choose peace over chaos. I see the parts of you that choose to stand when all you want to do is crumble. I see the parts of you that keep moving forward even when life tries to move you back.

I see the parts of you that I hope can see the parts of me that want to make those parts shine. The parts of me that only ever want to validate, acknowledge, and love them. The parts of me that want to know them.

I see the parts of you that are still healing from people who didn't hold them with the same gentleness that you chose to hold theirs. I see the parts of you that loved even when you didn't feel loved. That chose even when you weren't chosen. The parts that stayed strong even when you didn't feel strong. The parts of you that always showed up even when you weren't shown up for. The parts that only ever wanted to be held in the same regard and with the same care that you held for others. The parts that deserve to be seen, acknowledge, respected, and loved.

I see the parts of you that have always just wanted to be loved in the way that you love others.

I see the purest, most beautiful human inside and out that I have nothing but pure intentions for to embrace, love, and care about. I see someone who all I want to do show my love through respect, consideration, and thoughtfulness in all the ways I know how and all the ways that I will learn how to.

I see someone who tries to put up a front in ways but isn't actually hiding anything from someone who can see past it all. I see someone who just wants someone who can see their truth, who can see their rawness and shows them how beautiful those parts make them.

I see someone who doesn't need anyone but at the same time would like for someone to show them that it is okay to ask for help. To not always have to feel like they have to have it together. To not always have to be strong. To not always have to be okay. To know that someone will be there to catch them if they fall. To know that they don't have to figure it all out alone.

I see someone who truly just wants to be seen for all the parts past, present, and future.

I see someone who deserves to feel how precious and extraordinary they are through the eyes of someone who knows how to handle them with care, not because they are fragile but because that is how you treasure something. That is how you nurture something. That is how you foster growth. That is how you protect something. That is how you make something shine like gold. That is how you love something. That is how you make someone feel chosen. Every single day you choose to take care of it and you think of all the ways that you can do that to make sure all the parts of it feel nourished, loved.

I see someone who wants to love and be loved in the purest sense.

I see someone who I wish could see themselves through my eyes. I see someone who I hope can see how much I care about them by all the ways that I try to show them, all the little things and all the big things. I see someone who doesn't know if they can trust those things yet or if it's just a temporary thing.

I see someone who only knows to approach with skepticism when all I want to create a sense of stability, safety, and security in the space between us. I see someone who I am serious about, from the moment that I met you...it was always you.

I see someone who I see as long term and I hope knows that I am not the type of person to invest in something, someone that I do not care about. I see someone who is looking for everything that I will continue to show in the things that matter and I hope vice versa.

I see someone that I want to be a sense of the things that they've always wanted but struggled to find, a constant. In helping them see that someone can show them what it truly means to be prioritized in the ways that they are consistent, reliable, and dependable and those are unwavering things. That those are promises.

I want to redefine what love is and what love means. I want you to know that I am the kind of person that my actions will always speak louder than my words and that is where you will always find my intentions.

I see someone that has found it hard to trust others words but that I hope to help build back faith in, that I hope to rebuild in the foundation of us.

I feel the playful spirit that lives within you. I feel the lust you have for life. I feel the drive and determination to do so much in this life.

I feel the hunger to never settle, in any way.

I see so much more than any ocean because the depths of you are far more vast and complexity than anything on this Earth capable of exploring. I see an "ocean of you."

I see a feeling, all the feelings that rush in the most beautiful morning light into my eyes giving me a sense of warmth, a sense of connection. A sense of truth. A sense of real. A sense of who you are in ways that you could never explain in words to me because it can simply only be felt.

I see so much more than you could ever imagine.

I feel a sense of comfort and safety in the embrace of your eyes.

I feel a hug from your soul. I feel the embodiment of your heart through the energy that is exchanged. I feel you.

I see the love in the depth of your eyes, in the deepest parts.

I see the love in you. I see the heart in you.

I see the you in you that only your eyes could show me.
