Blind.
Dark.
It rendered me helpless. No, not entirely helpless, because I could still move around, but not with ease.
The dark made me lose my faith in life. Memories of the dark, sullen past flashed before my unseeing eyes. And I couldn't block them off. I couldn't snap my eyes open and the nightmares disappeared. No. I was stuck in it.
"Kenshin?"
I lifted my sightless eyes to the sound of the voice. The hay I was sitting on crackled as extra weight was placed on it. She was sitting next to me, lifting a wet towel to wash my face.
"Are you feeling okay, Kenshin?"
I barely heard her voice. In my mind, I tried to shut off the nightmares, that dark past I wanted to leave behind. I tried, instead, to remember the sunshine. Her long, black hair, reaching halfway through her back, that moved with inhuman grace as she moved. Her blue eyes that reflected the deep night sky, her blue eyes that made the stars slink into the corner of the universe after being outshone.
And of course, her smile.
Her smile that made everything else smile with her too. The smile that the world took some time at to stare. The way her eyes light up when she smiles, she doesn't see it. Does she see the way the world looks at her with gentle faces whenever she laughs? Her tinkling voice, like little bells swaying with the wind.
It was surprising how she doesn't see how beautiful the world thinks she is!
She doesn't even need to be vain. She was beautiful enough. She was amazing.
For me, she was already perfect. She was enough for me, and there was nothing else I could ask for.
