Of all the things that we've written and said, so much more is being communicated with our eyes. For all of our attempts to control what we convey with our words, and for our struggle to be aware of our body language, our eyes simply betray us.
You cannot hide what you're feeling with them. They heat like fire when we're trying to hold back our anger. They reveal us when we're trying to conceal our pain. They have a shine to their own when a memory comes trailing in. And they convey love when your words fall short.
All we need is listen to them. Listen to our own, and hear what others' are saying to us...
