In the moment of my greatest fear, not knowing if my heart was going to continue to keep me alive, your eyes saved my life.
Though most of your face was covered in a medical mask, your eyes met mine.
While machines beeped and buzzed in the background, while people were scurrying all around, while chaos reigned all around us, you caught me up in a moment where everything else went away.
It was just you and me.
And I never felt more held, more beloved, more at peace than I did in that moment. Your look took away fear and pain.
In the moment of my greatest fear, your eyes saved my life.
