With eyes that gaze beyond the seas and freckles dotting your pale skin as inverted stars, your face radiated a liveliness that cannot be forgotten. Had I only known on that first night that past the flames stood a god among men, that he would one day grasp my hand with all the grace of a prince and bring me into the light of his life, I would have bared my vulnerable soul to you then as I do now. The hazel light diffusing from your eyes, the masterful words weaved from your tongue, every part of you is a gift to me. And though I may falter, though my sight may be clouded, what I desire most is to follow you to the ends of the Earth, to experience all this world has to offer and more.
