Week 4: Truly windows of the soul.

sometimes when i accidentally make eye-contact and look into her eyes, i see an incredible sadness and a sense of resignation. it is as if her soul had hollowed out and all that's left is just a shell; going through the motions. when i look into her eyes, i feel as if i too, have lost something very dear to me...something that cannot be regained; be it a memory, someone close, or just a way of how things used to be.

it saddens me terribly, because i remember her as someone carefree and full of spirit. now all i see is someone who is broken. and it amazes yet terrifies me how fast situations can change. just a snap of the finger and she's now a shadow of her former self.

oh, she doesn't show it. outwardly she looks, talks and breathes like how she has been doing for all these times..to someone less observant, the subtle changes within her would have been lost. and i, for one, wouldn't have detected it too, if i had not, by chance, looked into those eyes.

her eyes: they are heavy with sadness. and all i want is to just reassure her that whatever it is, it's gonna be alright.
