"The Secret Language of Your Eyes"
The cavern was dark and musty. Nikola tried to keep his eyes open as he hobbled assisted by Helen's Protege, . He had never needed anyone's assistance before, and now here he was, weak and too tired to walk on his own. Will leaned him against a rock wall and Nikola tried to sit up straight, yet the pain in his body and the gash on his head was too great. Helen offered him a canteen and he drank the cool refreshing water as Will and Henry started off down the dark tunnel as the light of their headlamps lighted the way. Leaving Helen and Nikola together in the darkness. Nikola fought through the pain and smiled up at Helen and into her blue eyes that stared back at him.
Nikola's P.O.V.
"Your eyes and their depths speak more than words ever could,
it seems I am always lost in a sea of letters,
never able to combine them into a combination that would tell you how I feel,
I am never at a loss for words,
it only happens when I'm around you...
"Helen, thank you." Nikola said as he grasped her hand gently. It was the only words that would come out of his mouth. He wanted to say so much more to her. He loved her. And yet, the last time he had spoken "I love you" he had been rejected and his heart that he guarded so much was broken.
Nikola's P.O.V.
If only my eyes were granted the gift of speech,
I could spell it out to you,
tell you a story that would leave you breathless,
love revealed in every syllable,
I could tell you that I love you.
That moment together in the dark seemed to last an eternity, made more painful by not being able to tell her what was on his heart and reflected in his eyes...
My eyes speak a language that you cannot hear,
my heart wills my words to break the surface ,
I wish you could uncover their meaning,
they have been waiting for the day that you would understand.
As he gathered all his strength to fight through the pain, Nikola stood up and hobbled slowly behind Helen down the dark tunnel. Another moment had gone and went for him to tell her what was in his heart...and he had missed it again. Secret pain hidden behind a smirk and snarky comments.
If only my eyes were granted the gift of speech,
I could spell it out to you,
tell you a story that would leave you breathless,
love revealed in every syllable,
I could tell you that I love you."
