vulnerability

And as she turned to me with tear-stained cheeks, I felt the weight of the world fall from my shoulders. Her strength, from out her softened brown eyes dove into mine and cradled my melting heart. All at once the depths of my emotions became shallow, wide, and powerful. The dark theater lightened in her glow, filled with her beauty.

Love flowed out of her, through me, beyond the walls, and covered the world in that one open moment. As vulnerability she wept. From her lips, a whisper, "believe in the impossible." And I did. And so I do.
