In Your Eyes

Alton Ellis - What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)

Staring into her eyes, all he sees are all the mistakes in his lifetime spinning into the seconds of this never-ending moment: her visage in slow motion and seemingly for eternity.

His weakness wants to keep her and hold her forever, but his pride and pain understands all too well the disposability of every individual. He says he can get someone, anyone else, despite the years that have passed and the torture he will endure alone. The warmth of that familiar being against the complete and utter darkness of the unknown alone digs an endless deep hole in his soul sending him into emotional paralysis. Now is all he has left and nothing else.

The end follows and the hope of something new comes again.
