They say the eyes

They say the eyes are the mirror of the soul and I truly believe this to be so
You looked into my eyes and saw a heart locked away
Too afraid of pain to open up and care
Like the dawn you let the first rays back into a dark and cold place
Slowly warming and brightening
As I got to know you better the glow you brought to my life banished the shadows and brought warmth and light.
Now, as my heart has opened, so have my eyes
When I look into your eyes I see the soul of someone so full of life
With so much love to give.
You enjoy life to the fullest and by doing so encourage everyone else to do so much more
The joy you derive from life is like a mountain spring from deep within
It is so pure and untainted, and always bubbling so close to the surface.
You inspire so much love and devotion in people because you return those feelings twofold.
I want to thankyou for bringing me to life again and for banishing the shadows.
You have given me the capacity to care again, even though with that brings pain
I feel that the joy for life that you’ve brought me is the most precious gift of all
You’ll never know who wrote this but it’s my way of saying thankyou for being a friend and for being you.
