When I look at you, I don't see a face or a pair of eyes or lips trembling in anxiety... when I look at you, I see a soul in its purest form. I can see you from where I stand and you glow. There's light surrounding you. A halo above your head. I see goodness in your bones and sincerity in your flesh. I see openness in your eyes and honesty in your lips. I see love on your skin and vulnerability in your veins. I see strength in your hands and concern in your palms. I see your heart full and overflowing with all the wonderful things in the world, and it lights over me. Oh how it shines over me.
However, mostly, I see you fully and wholly. I can't stop seeing you even when I close my eyes. You're all around me. At the back of my eyes, right beside me, above all the heights. And even when you're nowhere to be found, you're still there. In silence, burning at the back of my mind. You're never lost to me.
You'll always be my light.

A/N: Song on the side is the instrumental version of You Caught The Light by CHVRCHES. It's a personal favorite. Chapter is dedicated to BaldurMoon.
