The eyes…
I remember seeing those eyes. With her, he was happy. He was genuinely happy. One could see it in those eyes. They were those of a man who saw things, a man who wanted to forget. And he did. He wanted to forget everything when he was with her. He wanted to forget everything for her. He wanted to forget everything but her. It was there. It was all in his eyes…
I remember I saw them sitting silently under a cherry tree in the orchard. It was in bloom. I remember how the blossoms fell around them. She smiled at him and played with his hair. He looked at her. It was there. That-feeling-those words. It was as though he was saying 'I love you, and I'd do anything to protect you. I'd kill for you.' It was then that I saw it a bit of his past. His part in the war. His war? The bloodshed, the blood he shed. I'd tried to see more, to find out more about this man's past. But it had gone as fast as it appeared. But I knew. It was there, ever present in his eyes…
I also remember the look in his eyes the day he left, the day she died. They were those of a man who saw things, a man who wanted to forget. And he did. He wanted to forget everything when he was with her…
But he was without her…
He wanted to forget everything for her…
But why, if she was no longer there….
He wanted to forget everything but her….
But at the same time he wanted to forget her…
To forget what he did to her….
What he didn't do for her…
The eyes…
They showed me a lot about the man. They showed me the little boy crying-to be known? To be let out? To be?
The eyes…
They showed me…
They showed a man heartbroken, without life, without a reason to live.
They showed me his soul.
NB- told in the POV of a girl from the outside. She had nothing to do with the story, other than intro, but that's it.
