A/N: Damien and Gerald challenge an old saying.
They say love is blind.
If that's true I can not love you.
For I see you.
I see the Hunter, the Prophet, the Neocount. I see cruelty, strength, tragedy.
They say love is blind.
If that's true I can not love you.
For I see you.
I see the Priest, the Sorcerer, the Knight. I see faith, devotion, pureness.
They say love is blind.
If that's true I can not love you.
For I see you.
I see the man behind the mask of arrogance and coldness and power. I see the soul behind your silver eyes, soul more human than you might think.
I see possibilities locked in your heart – even if you do not.
I see you.
They say love is blind.
If that's true I can not love you.
For I see you.
I see the man behind the mask of average and stubbornness and temper. I see the soul behind your hazel eyes, soul so pure I wonder if it's really human.
I see potential encapsulated in your mind – even if you do not.
I see you.
They say love is blind.
If that's true I can not love you.
For I see you.
I see all of you. It frightens me sometimes, and makes me furious, and sometimes it makes me cry. But I don't close my eyes.

I see all of you. It amuses me sometimes, and makes me furious, and sometimes it makes me cry. But I don't close my eyes.
They say love is blind.
But we know it sees.
