"Please," His emerald eyes no longer hid his emotions away and in them I can see that he was pleading me to open up to him for him to care for me and there was so much concern, he's never been this vulnerable with me. "Let me know what you are thinking."
I looked down towards our feet, I couldn't look him in his eyes that were full of emotions while I tried to control my own emotions, "If you could read my mind you'd be in tears."
He grabs my face with his large hand to bring my face back up to look at his own, my eyes threatening to show him all of my raw emotions, "I'm okay with that, just let me in. Let me save you."
