Jay's Eyes ~Emmie Lou

I remember I used to look into his eyes and know everything about him, how he was feeling, when he laughed his eyes sparkled, they were so full of color, life, beauty, wonder, everything good and everything bad was there in his eyes, one look in his eyes on a good day made everything better, and one look when he was sad, made you wanna cry too. He had beautiful eyes, his eyes were what made him beautiful, they were him, Jay was his eyes. But being out of the world, took the world out of his eyes, I look into his eyes, and look and look and look, and you know what I see... I see nothing. Jay is no longer there, They're the same eyes, they're the same color, the same shape, they get dry, they water, they blink... but they're different, they're empty. The life that was one so vibrant and beautiful in Jay is gone, he's still there, he still walks and talks, he's still my friend, but he's not the lovely boy he used to be, he's the hardened shell of an old man in the shape of a 15 year old boy. I used to be able to fall into Jay's eyes and land in a world of color and wonder and emotion, now I can't fall into his eyes, because I know I'll never land, or if I do, I'll land somewhere scarey and lonely and dark. You can know so much about a person just by looking into their eyes, Jay's still a beutiful person, he's a wonderful, beautiful, smart but oh so empty person... I miss Jay's old eyes.

Hope you enjoyed this.
