In those pair of glazy eyes she sought something she was
unsure about. She always knew there was
something otherworldly about them. Something, she said to herself. But never
she thought it would be so dearly.

It all started with the battle between curiosity and the
need to juggle her-busy-but-empty days into something fun. The game she played
so many times before that mostly ended in regrets. She said to herself, she
would throw away all those expectations behind. She just didn’t want to be hurt
again. She was very altogether. She was even sure that she would outsmart her
own mind that sometimes play the victim card out of those tragic romantic
tendency she always had.
Up until then. The particular night she saw vulnerability
staring straight at her. Even in the dark of night, she could sense it. And for
her, vulnerability is a serious kind of feeling that can’t be disregarded just
like that. It’s one of the most sincere that no one can ever has the ability of
faking. Even if someone could, she
wouldn’t had the power to get away with it.
And just like that. Even a perfect plan had flaws. In her
case—those pair of glazy eyes.

Instead, in those pair of glazy eyes she sees the kindness
the world has to offer. She wants to keep them near no matter what, because she
needs to witness it with her own two eyes to actually believe in it.
Through those pair of glazy eyes, she said.
Through those pair of glazy eyes and their otherworldly
sincerity.

"Have you seen this film?
It reminds me of walking through the avenues.
We'll be washin' my hands of attachments, yeah,
land on the ground, one thing I'm missing...is in your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes.
In your eyes..."
