Our eyes locked as I held a hand that didn't belong to you. We said nothing for our eyes were screaming out what we were dying to say. My faux smile slowly melted as I saw the rapid blinking of your eyes saying that you were on the verge of tears. A sympathetic frown creased my forehead, silently begging you not to cry, for if you do I might lose my sanity. This is all for the best, I thought staring at your unblinking eyes. The hand that I was holding clenched mine more tightly. I saw the pain clash your face just for a fraction for a second; the expression of someone who had just been stabbed. But it wasn't over, she grabbed me and pulled me closer to her body forcing my hands to embrace her. I felt her face settle into my chest. I glanced back at you, but soon as I did, I wished I hadn't. The walls that were keeping you from crying had now collapsed. Your hands covering your face , still trying to hide the tears that were inevitable to run from anymore. Soon I was crying a river of my own, stretching out my hand towards you. I touched your head and patted it, giving myself false hope that somehow this gesture may soothe your pain, but careful enough not to disturb the ******* my chest. Our eyes met yet again. I love you.. My eyes begged to be heard but it was for naught. For eyes can't speak. But oh, how I wish they could.

I've Seen God

I've seen Him through the lips of those tired preachers in the middle of his homily.
I've seen Him in the eyes of the homeless as the kids cut classes in school.
I've seen Him as alcoholics sweat as they  swallow before priests bless the wine.
I've seen Him answer the prayers of  a daughter who was violated by her father.
I've seen Him come out of the wallets of those whose names we see on billboards.

I've seen God.
I see Him everywhere, everyday.
I believe He exists. Do you?
