You used to stare at me, unblinking. I always hated it, Id ask you why you were looking at me like that over and over again. Id try to figure out what insecurity of mine you were internally scrutinizing. But your eyes would sparkle. Theyd twinkle and glimmer underneath the low lighting of street lamps. Theyd stare past all of the wrongs and look at everything else. They would shimmer, at the mere thought of me. I find myself wondering if theyd still do that after all this time apart. If those beautiful ocean blue eyes would still stay fixated on me. If theyd sparkle. I never thought I would miss someone staring at me this much.

The reflection of myself in your eyes.
