...I really studied the features of this woman in front of me. The fullness of her lips, the deep amber of time in her eyes, the radiant aura that emanated from her skin – I studied it all as if for the first time. However, I have seen the face of this goddess every day of my life. I have seen her transform from a curious, vibrant young girl, to a depressed and lost teen, to this magnificent being standing in front of me.
“I know you,” I whispered to her. “You’ve been here all along.”
