His Eyes

His eyes

Told me everything

Before he said it

The edges of his pain were there

I knew

I held back

I did not breathe

Good news

Does not come with tears like those

And happy words

Not uttered behind a closed door

(like this one)

I thought, for the first time

Why had I never noticed

That I love him before…..?

I hide my eyes here for a reason, the same reason I pretty much hide them everywhere... well, not everywhere - but almost everywhere. You depict well, all that can be seen in the eyes if one only but looks. The realization of having not noticed love, speaks so true of how it happens - it is often a case of wondering how it had snuck up on you...well done.
