Look at me

It's been a while since someone looked at me with that expresion in the eyes. I almost forgot how it felt to be seen like this.
I usually try to hide my emotions, but I was taken by surprise and there was too little time to adjust.
I was nervous, scared and shaking and I saw no way out.
My pain was too strong, so I prefered to numb it, to have some clarity and gain control.
What I didn't expect was the sudden connection, the care.
This surprised me and left me wondering. Was it real?
I began to trust, because the care disarmed me. How can you fight against good?
There were moments when I felt how nice it was when someone was looking at you.
Despite all you need to hide, despite your pain, there is still some good to be seen in your eyes.
