I was born blind. From the very first day of my life, I have never seen the colors of the sky, nor the sunrise, nor the stars shining in the night. And yet... Since you came into my life, I feel as though my heart sees everything my eyes will never see. I do not know the color of your eyes, but I know they must be beautiful, because they look upon the world with gentleness. I do not know the features of your face, but I picture them whenever you say my name. In the sound of your voice, I trace the shape of your smile. Your voice is so gentle... it calms all my fears. It has become my refuge, my favorite place to be. When you take my hand, I feel safe. Your touch alone reminds me that I am never alone. It feels as if the world stands still, leaving only you and me. You are my eyes, but you are so much more than that. You are the light I feel without ever seeing. You are the smile I can sense. You are the beating of my heart when everything falls silent. I love listening to your laughter. There is something magical about it. With every burst of laughter, I feel the world becoming a little more beautiful. I love when you speak softly to me. I love when you rest your head against me. I love feeling your presence, because it soothes everything that frightens me. I may have been born without sight, but life has given me something infinitely precious... You. I never needed to see your face to fall in love with you. I fell in love with your heart, with your tenderness, with your patience, with the way you make me feel important, with the way you love me without ever making me feel different. With you, I have never been ashamed to be myself. When you are near me, I no longer need light. Because it is your love that lights up my life. If there were a miracle capable of restoring my sight, I think the first thing I would want to look at... would be you. But even if that miracle never happened, I wouldn't be unhappy. Because I already see you, with the eyes of my heart. And that image... no one could ever take it away from me. I love you more than words could ever say. And as long as my heart beats, it will beat your name.
