Often times I don't look people in the eyes when I'm speaking to them. I used to think that it was because I revealed too much about myself, but I actually think it's because I start to see too much in them. My mind races with so many thoughts as it is that I can't always be bombarded by the thoughts that I see from them.
But I do focus intently on someone's eyes when we're alone--intimately--and our faces are but a breath apart. I like seeing what's there and feeling what the silence says.
