Unlocking Secrets

I wish you could look at someone, and in just the tilt of your head when you look at them or the wrinkle of your face when they make you smile, that overlooked little gesture could have the power to unlock all the secrets of your life. Like a silent movie, your past, the pain you have dealt with, the joys you have come to find; it would all be projected before them as an intimate look into your soul. You could allow them to see what you've seen and to feel what you've felt- but on a smaller scale so it doesn't break their heart and destroy them as it did to you; Yet still, it makes them deeply aware of all your fears and your dreams. Those few seconds would be the most intimate dance of emotion you'd ever share with someone, and they'd know exactly who you are because of that experience.
