eyes are the window to the soul

When you look outward at the world, you’re really just taking in the light it projects. 

So when you look into someone else’s eyes what are you taking in? If you both are taking in the surroundings but it is blocked by the lack of distance from the other person, then are you reaching into the depths of this person? 

Sharing an elongated eye contact is so intimate. Even if from a far, a lingered glance may be an invitation. A caught glimpse of a soul opens a desire to know more, to reach a deeper depth. The best people are the type that even with so many caught glances you never reach the bottom- they set up obstacles to let only those who may enter, in.
