His hooded eyes held such humanity and emotion. His eyes blazed with desire and determination. His eyes spoke so much truth. Every muscle in his face was tense and without a word, he communicated an intense longing, a longing to let someone in, someone to love. His jaw clenched, his eyes widened and the colour drained out of his face, realising that you might’ve broken through the wall that he usually had heavily guarded. Even though he was trying so hard his eyes were like open windows, you could see right through them, you could see the pain and the true gentleness. 

His eyes softened, he knew there was no point hiding his pain and struggle from you. You could see right through him.    He grimaced, sadness clouded his defined features, waiting for you to leave. But you couldn’t, his slouched and weak stance kept you in a fixed position.
You were stunned, it was astonishing how much he could change underneath your eyes. He looked up, one glance of those blue eyes told a lifetime of struggle that had never been put into words, his face flushed as if he was embarrassed you that you saw a glimpse of his other side.
