Tender Heart

Is there anything quite as terrible, or beautiful, or heart breaking, as watching someone you care for experience a pure moment of fearless pride and elation? Seeing their eyes sparkle with the momentary belief that all of their dreams will come true, and there is nowhere else they would rather be than exactly where they are. The kind of happiness that is just too much to express, and pours out of the person in every possible place like an punctured water balloon.

You just want to seal them away forever like that…boxed in their delicately blissful minds.
